Overview

A reed switch is a passive electronic switching device that operates via an applied magnetic field. It consists of two ferromagnetic contacts sealed in a glass tube that close when a magnetic field is present.

The 59165 is a miniature overmolded reed switch 16.00mm x 2.40mm x 2.40mm (0.630” x 0.095” x 0.095”) with either straight or Gull Wing leads. It has normally open contact, capable of switching up to 200Vdc at 10W

• Two-part magnetically operated proximity switch.
• No standby power requirement
• Operates through non-ferrous materials such as wood, plastic or aluminium

Configuration Notes

• Requires single GPIO pin (with pull-up/pull-down resistor)
• Platform: GPIO Binary Sensor
• Passive device - acts as mechanical switch
• Needs external or internal pull-up/pull-down resistor
• NO type: open circuit without magnet, closed with magnet
