Miniature Reed Switches
Reed Switches - Miniature Reed Switches
Our miniature KSK reed switch series are our smallest switches currently available. With a glass dimension of 4mm, our KSK-1A04 series is the smallest in the industry with flat surface mount leads. They may be used as a proximity sensor or internal to a relay. [more]
Standard Reed Switches
Reed Switches - Standard Reed Switches
Our standard KSK reed switch series are our most popular all purpose switches ranging in size from 7-14mm. They may be used as a proximity sensor or internal to a relay. [more]
High Power Reed Switches
Reed Switches - High Power Reed Switches
Our high power KSK reed switch series are used in high power switching applications. They may be used as a proximity sensor or internal to a relay. [more]
SPDT Reed Switches
Reed Switches - SPDT Reed Switches
Our SPDT KSK-1C90U and KSK-1C90F reed switch products are a changeover or single-pole double throw switch type. They may also be used as a Form-B, normally-closed switch (NC) in a relay or sensor application. [more]
High Frequency Switches
Reed Switches - High Frequency Switches
Our high frequency KSK reed switch products are used in switching high frequencies and a variety of RF applications. [more]
Latching Reed Switches
Reed Switches - Latching Reed Switches
Our latching or bistable reed switch products are a magnetically biased spst switches that will stay On once it is switched on and off when the polarity is reversed. They are used is sensor and relay applications of all kinds. [more]
High Voltage Reed Switches
Reed Switches - High Voltage Reed Switches
Our high voltage KSK reed switch products are spst switches used for switching high voltage applications in the medial and test and measurement markets. They may be used internal to a sensor or relay. [more]
Custom Reed Switches
Reed Switches - Custom Reed Switches
Reed Switches can be sorted by magnetic sensitivity range and custom cut and formed for various PCB surface mount, flush mount, or other custom switch applications. [more]
Surface Mount Reed Switches
Reed Switches - Surface Mount Reed Switches
Our surface mount reed switch products are a SMT design used in a variety of switching and sensing applications. Choose from eight series in either a low cost bare glass version or a rugged thermoset overmolded version in SPST or SPDT. Our MMS series is our only surface mount MEMS sensor. [more]

Mini-Glossary

Form A = normally open contact (N. O.)
Form B = normally closed contact (N.C.)
Form C = change over contact (S.P.D.T.)
Form E = Bistable / Latching
AT = Ampere Turns; Parameter that describes magnetic sensitivity.
