What is a reed switch used for?

Why does more current flow through copper wire than a reed switch?

Ideally the reed switch should be able pass as much current as the wire supplying it. A voltage drop across the switch would indicate resistance and suggest that the maximum rated current has been exceeded. Reed switches are delicate and should only switch small currents. They are used where actuation by a magnet is required, without mechanical interference. To switch larger currents a relay should be used, fed from the reed.


How do reed switches work?

Reed switches work on a basic principle whereby the reed switch is a hermetically sealed glass tube containing two ferromagnetic reeds that will actuate when in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be generated from a ferrous metal such as iron, a permanent magnet such as rare earth types and/or an electromagnetic coil as used in a reed relay.Reed switches have various electrical properties such as their sensitivity range which is generally specified in ampere turns (AT). The AT or sensitivity of the reed switch refers to the open and close points of the switch.When a reed switch is used in conjunction with a permanent magnet, it referred to as a reed sensor. Typically the reed switch is mounted to a fixed object and the magnet to the moving object. The strength of the magnetic field as well as the position and movement of the magnet relative to the switch will determine how many open and closure points will take place.Example: Parallel movement of the magnet to the switch can produce either one or three switch closures depending on its distance from the switch.
