Heating Systems in Hot Tubes & Spas - Reed Sensor

Features

  • Magnet and Reed Sensor are isolated and have no physical contact by typically having the magnet mounted to a mini paddle wheel or spring and the Reed Sensor is mounted strategically such that the magnetic field of the magnet will sense the spring or paddle wheel
  • The reed switch used in the Reed Sensor is hermetically sealed and is therefore not sensitive to wet environments
  • The magnet is not affected by its environment
  • Tens of millions of reliable operations
  • Surface mount and through-hole packages available
  • Cylindrical hole and screw fastening mounting
  • Contacts dynamically tested
