An insulated reed switch that closes when exposed to a magnetic field and opens when the field is removed. The encapsulated design is more durable than glass reed switches and can be easily populated on a PCB.
Key Features
- Magnetic Activation – Non-contact switching via magnetic field
- 1 A Maximum Current – Suitable for low-power switching applications
- Insulated / Encapsulated – More durable than bare glass reed switches
- PCB Mountable – Easy to solder onto boards
Ideal For
- Door and window sensors
- Proximity detection
- Non-contact switching in embedded projects
Resources
- Datasheet (RS-01C)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
