sensor magnetic reed switch

Knowing about sensor magnetic reed switches lets us understand the functionality in various electronic appliances. A sensor magnetic reed switch is a small and simple device that opens or closes an electrical circuit when a magnet is passed over or near it. It’s a bit like magic — when the magnet comes close, the switch is able to sense the magnet, and it either allows electricity through the circuit or it blocks it.

How a sensor magnetic reed switch operates in electronic devices

How does a sensor magnetic reed switch function in electronic gadgets? Think about a door opens and closes, but when you approach it—that is exactly how a magnetic reed switch sensor works! In devices, the switch can sense that something equipped with a magnet is near, for example, in a security alarm or a refrigerator door. When the magnet is removed, the switch reverts to its former state.
