sensor magnetic switch

A mag switch is a cool little device that makes electronic gadgets function. It’s analogous to a magic switch that can sense if a magnet is near and can switch things on or off. So, what do we know about sensor magnetic switches and why are they so important?

A sensor magnetic switch is a little gadget that can detect a magnet. When the magnet comes near the switch, it can feel the switch’s magnetic field and react in some way — it could turn on a light, for example, or produce a sound. That’s because the switch is built with special materials that interact with magnets.

How sensor magnetic switches work in electronic devices

Sensor magnetic switches are employed in many types of electronics to determine how they operate. In a refrigerator, for example, a sensor magnetic switch can sense when the door is closed (or not opened). When the door is shut, the magnet is close to the switch, and the refrigerator is on. But when you open the door, the magnet pulls back, and the fridge shuts down to save electricity.
