12mm - Reed Switch/Sensor (Magnetic Switch) Gold plated- (NO - Normally open)

12mm Gold Plated NO Reed Switch/Magnetic Sensor

The 12mm Gold Plated Normally Open (NO) Reed Switch is a versatile magnetic sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection. This electrical switch activates when exposed to an applied magnetic field. It features a pair of magnetizable, flexible metal reeds hermetically sealed within a tubular glass envelope. When a magnetic field is present, the ferrous pins inside pull together, closing the switch. Upon removal of the magnetic field, the reeds separate, opening the circuit. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring precise, non-contact switching. Its gold-plated pins ensure superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. With a compact 12mm length, it's perfect for integration into various projects. It can handle up to 1.2A, offering robust performance.
