Description
These ultra miniature normally closed SMD reed sensors are built with an biasing magnet. As they are molded with pre-flattened leads, no shock is transferred into the device when SMD formation takes place. Various activating distances are available depending on the magnet and the AT band used. The sensors are tested 100% for Operate AT, Release AT, Contact Resistance and Variable Contact Resistance before packing. Opposing poles of magnet and sensor cause this normally closed sensor contact to release. Like poles do not cause a release. Choosing the right AT band, magnet strength, and operating axis, will restrict the number of operates and releases to one.
