Operating Characteristics of Reed Switches

The following examples show typical operating characteristics of a reed switch. Generally, when a reed switch is actuated by a permanent magnet, the ON-OFF region differs depending on the type and operate AT of the switch, and size and power of the permanent magnet. These characteristics will vary if there is any other ferromagnetic material nearby. Each characteristic curve will be enlarged as a whole if a stronger magnet is used for actuation, or if a lower operate AT reed switch is used.
