AI Demand Fuels Reed Technology Use | Electronica China 2024

AI Industry's stronger demand for power and test equipment drive reed switch, sensor, and relay use.

Ralf Maier speaks to the AI Industry's impact on Reed technology use. "We are continuously developing new products for all our three product lines. We have the reed switches, sensors and relays. The AI industry has a stronger demand for power, but also a stronger demand for test equipment. This test equipment is used around the semiconductor fabrication and our products, especially the reed relays, are used in unique test equipment around the world to support these industries. Reed technology is used in almost every market. I think in your daily life you come across reed products every day. They are used in appliances such as washing machines and fridges, but they also used in security products like door alarm systems. But then we just talked about the semiconductor test equipment. Many, many reed relays are used there.

And one of our biggest markets is transportation and automotive where the electric vehicles take a large market share. Obviously, the last few years were very challenging for all the industry manufacturers. We have 10 factories around the world, and we have some unique capabilities, but also capabilities we have in different sites. So, we can support our customers in all the major regions directly with our processes and products. So, our intention is to continue to grow and to diversify our product portfolio. We have a strong road map for all three product lines for the reed switches, the sensors and the relays, and we continuously invest into new processes to be more efficient. Standex Electronics is your partner for sensing and switching solutions across the globe. We enable an electrified future."

Reflecting on a successful week at Electronica China, we at Standex Electronics are invigorated by the connections we've made and the opportunities that lie ahead. Our participation in this premier event has not only allowed us to showcase our cutting-edge solutions from Sanyu but also to engage in meaningful dialogue with industry peers and customers.

Our commitment to innovation was met with enthusiasm, and we're excited to foster the new relationships built during the tradeshow. The synergy between problem-solving and customer satisfaction is what drives us forward. Here's to transforming these engagements into enduring partnerships and continuing to lead with innovation in the electronics sector.

Product Training Module – Reed Switch Overview  

Product Training Module – Reed Switch Overview

Welcome to Standex Electronics' Reed Switch Technology training module. This module will explain the functionality, unique features, structure, and crucial manufacturing and design element to reed switch technology. This module will also explain some basic switch parameters as well as describe basic reed switch operation along with a few applications.

Product Training Module – Reed Switch Magnet Interaction  

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.

Reed Switch SMD Sensor & Magnet Actuation in 3-D  

Reed Switch SMD Sensor & Magnet Actuation in 3-D

A Reed Switch Sensor on a surface mount PCB assembly shown in 3-D with actuating magnet. When viewed in three dimensions, the magnetic flux lines emanating from the magnet look like a beer barrel keg; and also in three dimensions, with the magnet parallel to the reed switch, the center magnetic lobe array looks like a donut and the two outside lobes look more like a boxer's punching bag -- the kind hung from the ceiling. Essentially the fields from the magnet and the fields for the lobes are symmetrical when viewed in three dimensions. As seen in two dimensions, when the magnet is brought into one of the lobes the reed switch contacts will close. Now, as seen in three dimensions the magnet can be brought into the lobes in any spherical direction for contact closure to occur. Here the magnet is moved into the sphere of influence of the lobes of the reed switch showing the closure and opening when the magnet enters the lobes and passes through them, The change in lighting signifies the closing and opening of the reed switch contacts.
