--------------------------

A Reed Switch is the same as a reed relay but with out the electromagnet. Reed Switch Contacts are made from a ferromagnetic material (reed) which are encapsulated in glass. There are two types; Dry or Wet. Both types are identical except a Wet Reed relay has a small amount of mercury added inside the glass tube, providing a more consistent contact resistance.

The Hermetically sealed switch contacts of a reed switch are not effected by and have no effect on their external environment. Some Reed Switches are SMT devices and may be surface mounted, while most are through-hole devices. Be careful when cutting or bending the leads of a Reed switch, as the internal NiFe wire leads may be damaged from stress.

This is a general listing of Reed Switch manufacturers and vendors. The types of Switch products or devices the manufacturer produces are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order.
