Description
Product Overview
The Gebildet Plastic Reed Switch collection is engineered for precision magnetic induction control in demanding industrial and scientific environments. Each reed switch is housed in a robust yet lightweight plastic shell measuring 14.2 mm in length and 3.3 mm in diameter, providing a compact footprint that fits easily into tight circuit layouts. Designed as a normally closed (NC) contact, the switch maintains continuity until a magnetic field from the included round magnets disrupts the reed, delivering reliable, repeatable operation.
Technical specifications highlight a maximum switching voltage of 100 VDC and a maximum switch current of 0.5 A, making the device suitable for low‑power control circuits, sensor interfaces, and safety interlocks. The contact resistance is limited to 100 MΩ, while the insulation resistance exceeds 10¹⁰ Ω, ensuring excellent isolation between contacts even under harsh voltage conditions. The switches operate reliably across a temperature range of –20 °C to 80 °C, covering most indoor and moderate outdoor applications.
Accompanying the reed switches are ten small multi‑use round magnets, each crafted from high‑grade neodymium material. These magnets provide a strong, consistent magnetic field that can be positioned precisely to trigger the reed contacts without the need for additional wiring or complex actuation mechanisms. The combination of reed switches and magnets creates a versatile toolkit for engineers, hobbyists, and educators seeking a plug‑and‑play solution for magnetic sensing and switching.
Manufactured by Gebildet, a reputable brand known for quality industrial components, the product adheres to strict quality control standards. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing for durability, contact reliability, and magnetic response to guarantee consistent performance across the entire batch. The package dimensions of 4.25 × 3.31 × 0.55 inches and a lightweight of 0.01 ounces make storage and transportation effortless.
Customer feedback on major marketplaces reflects a solid 3.8‑star rating from over 399 reviews, indicating broad satisfaction with the product’s reliability and value. The item ranks #10 in the Reed Switches subcategory, underscoring its popularity among professionals seeking dependable magnetic switching solutions.

Usage
These reed switches are ideal for a wide range of applications, including automation systems, safety interlocks, proximity sensors, and educational laboratory experiments. In automation, the NC configuration ensures that circuits remain closed until a deliberate magnetic actuation occurs, providing a fail‑safe mechanism for machinery start‑up and shut‑down sequences.
For safety interlocks, the switches can be integrated into door or panel monitoring systems where the presence of a magnet indicates a closed or locked state. When the magnet is removed, the reed opens, instantly triggering alarms or shutdown procedures to protect personnel and equipment.
Proximity sensing applications benefit from the rapid response time of reed contacts, which can detect magnetic fields within milliseconds. This makes the switches suitable for speed sensors, position detectors, and magnetic field mapping tools used in research and development settings.
Educators and hobbyists appreciate the simplicity of the design: no soldering or complex circuitry is required to demonstrate magnetic switching principles. By placing a magnet near the reed, students can observe immediate changes in circuit continuity, reinforcing concepts of electromagnetism and sensor technology.

FAQ
What is the maximum temperature range for reliable operation?
The reed switches operate safely from –20 °C to 80 °C, making them suitable for most indoor environments and moderate outdoor conditions.
Can the switches handle higher voltages or currents than specified?
While the rated maximum is 100 VDC and 0.5 A, exceeding these limits may reduce the lifespan of the contacts and is not recommended for long‑term use.
Are the included magnets compatible with other reed switch brands?
Yes, the round magnets are standard size and can be used with most reed switches that respond to magnetic fields, offering flexibility for mixed‑brand projects.
How do I replace a faulty reed switch in the kit?
Simply desolder the defective switch from your circuit board and solder a new one from the kit in its place. The identical dimensions ensure a seamless replacement.
