Step 2 of 5: Selecting Sensor CHARACTERISTC:

<1 TYPE> <2 CHARACTERISTIC> <3 OPTION><4 HOUSING> <5 CONNECTION>
You Are Here : Products > Sensors > Reed Switch> CHARACTERISTC

Below you will find several different versions of our Reed Switch. The difference between these models is the sensitivity and the switching capacity. The sensitivity is measured in Amp-Turns (AT). The higher the AT rating, the more magnetic field it takes to close the switch. Most switches are normally open (they only close with a magnet present). The exception is the RSDT, which can be normally open or normally closed. Click on the box that best fits your needs, and you will be brought to the electrical option choice page.
