Product Training Module – Reed Switch Magnet Interaction

Welcome to Standex Electronics' 'how magnets and reed switches interact with each other forming a sensing function' training module. This module will define key terms for magnets and reed switches. The module will also describe how the positioning of the magnet's north and south poles relative to the reed switch, produces different magnetic field arrays. Understanding these magnetic field arrays will give insight into how the magnet and reed switch form their sensing function.
