Applications
The Reed switches are applied to many applications including:
- Electronics such as GPS tracking devices, fax and copy machines.
- Everyday products like tooth brushes, coffee machines, and air conditioners.
- Shock, coolant, and level sensing in automotive parts.
- In the construction of elevators and lifts to detect the floor level.

Night vision technology is literally giving humans the power to see in a pitch black environment without being seen with a flip of a switch or turn of a knob. This Reed switch is being used in the night vision goggle frame. A magnet is implanted into the helmet and the reed switch onto the frame. When the goggles are adjusted and the knob is turned, the reed switch comes in contact with the magnet’s field closing the circuit and releasing infra-red light.
