📝Description
Test Coils are widely acknowledged as the most precise method for evaluating various parameters of Reed Switches, Reed Sensors, or Magnet Sensors. Key parameters such as Operate AT (Ampere Turns), Release AT, Contact Resistance, and other critical metrics can be accurately measured using this method. The Operate Ampere Turn is derived by multiplying the number of turns in the coil by the current at which the switch closes, providing a direct assessment of its magnetic sensitivity.
To ensure accurate measurements, it is essential to maintain the vertical orientation of the coil to prevent interference from the Earth’s magnetic field. Proper centering of the reed switch or sensor within the coils is crucial, and precautions must be taken to avoid the presence of ferro-magnetic materials such as crocodile clips, connectors, or mounting parts nearby, as these can introduce errors in the measurements. For utmost precision, Four-terminal Kelvin measurements are recommended.
