Advantages of Employing Reed Switches and Sensors in Automotive Designs

This white paper provides an overview of the structural and safety reasons that make reed switches the ideal choice in these applications.

Reed switches used in reed sensors benefit from a hermetic seal ensuring protection from harsh conditions. Reed switches and reed sensors can switch high voltage and current with minimal signal loss and function in extreme conditions. Reed switches are reduced in size to adapt to electronic systems while keeping their sensitivity and quick response times. Reed switches and reed sensors serve in automotive applications and can work in several modes, including latching. Reed switches and sensors support seat belt sensors, power windows, brake pedal position, and fluid level sensors, among other things. For switching and sensing applications, reed switches and reed sensors provide an affordable alternative.
