Our work is never done. Passion, respect, integrity and discipline are the
four core values which drive us to sophisticated products and continuous growth
in a globalized world.
For more than 40 years we have been dealing with Reed Switches, Magnets and
the manufacturing of high quality customized sensor solutions based on Reed-
and Hall-Technology.
More than 300 employees – all of them experts in their special trade – are working
in our headquarters in Germany, sales offices in Asia and Europe and our two own
production facilities in China and Turkey.
With these three factors: people, knowledge and own manufacturing we make sure
to be your reliable partner for Sensor Technology – today and tomorrow!
Innovation
Modern machinery, perfected production concepts, clear
information policy and our comprehensive sensor know-how
secure our premier position in the industry.
Quality
Continuous optimization in the areas of research, development,
production, service and marketing assure high standards in product
quality.
Sustainability
Sustainability is an essential part of our philosophy. Careful use of resour-
ces and environmental compatibility starts long before production and does
not finish at sale. We remain true to this principle with regard to social and
economic aspects.

Basics
D i f f e re n t f o r m s
Form A
AA
Normally open, Reed Switch will close contact in presence of a magnet.
NO
B1
B1 COM
NC Form B
Normally closed. Either achieved by using a Form C switch with the NO wire
N
cut off or by using an attached magnet (requires pole oriented actuation).
B2
B2
Form C
NO
CC COM Change over, Reed Switch will change from NC to NO contact in presence
NC of a magnet.
N Form E
EE Latching type. Switching status remains stable after a magnetic field
disappears until a magnet with opposite polarity approaches.

Shock Resistance
Generally Reed Switches provide high shock
resistance up to 100 g. Still a drop on a hard
surface can generate a shock of several 100 g,
which can lead to de-adjustment of contacts.
Switches having been dropped should
be re-tested for sensitivity before usage!
D o ’s a n d D o n ’ t s w h e n c u t t i n g a n d Cutting
bending Reed Switches
Incorrect bending or cutting of terminals may shock shock
lead to cracks in the sealing area due to heavy
mechanical stress. To avoid this problem the
remaining part of terminal between glass body
and point of bending resp. cutting, should
be gripped tightly.
Forces directed away from Reed Switch Forces directed toward Reed Switch!
