What is a Reed Switch and How Does it Work?

 

If you visit a modern factory and observe the amazing electronics at work in an assembly cell, you’ll see a variety of sensors on display. Most of these sensors have separate wires for positive voltage supply, ground and signal. Applying power allows a sensor to do its job, whether that’s observing the presence of ferromagnetic metals nearby or sending a light beam out as part of the facility’s security system. The humble mechanical switches that trigger these sensors, like the reed switch, only need two wires to do their jobs. These switches activate using magnetic fields.
