GPS-23 Magnet Reed Switch – Normally Open

Reed switches are simple, magnetically operated electrical switches that give you so much versatility in your DIY projects. They consist of two thin, ferrous, and magnetizable metal reed contacts sealed in a glass envelope. The contacts are normally open, creating an air gap. When a magnet comes close to the reed switch, it magnetizes the reeds, causing them to attract each other and close the electrical circuit. This action completes the circuit and allows electric current to flow. When the magnetic influence is removed, the reeds return to their open state, breaking the circuit. Reed switches are useful circuit switches in various applications, from door and window sensors to home automation and industrial applications.

The GPS-23 Magnet Reed Switch arrives in two parts that you can mount separately on a door frame to break your circuit when the door is opened. Usually, Makers will make DIY sensors from these parts, triggering an alarm if a door or window is opened. Small and lightweight, this GPS-23 Magnet Reed Switch has more vast applications. Whether you're at home, the office, school, or in a factory, this switch can come in handy for a myriad of projects. Enjoy secure and dependable switching, no matter what you're creating.
