Reed Sensor

BST Reed sensor uses the reed switch as the heart of its switching mechanism. When paired with a permanent magnet, reed sensor is perfect for proximity, movement, liquid level application. As a leading reed sensor factory, BST offers reed sensor with different sizes and shapes and hence it's able to meet different applications. Typical reed switch sensor has Normally open, Normally closed and Changeover form, and the rated power can be up to 100W .

Reed sensor works by opening and closing the reed switch contacts in the presence of a magnetic field, when it's in standby status, nearly no power is consumed. Furthermore the reed type sensor will perform billions of operations.
Reed Sensor Category

Rectangular Reed Sensor
BP1 Series rectangular reed sensor is a sensor that can be used as on/off control switch, proximity sensor, motion sensor, position detection sensor etc.
Cylindrical Reed Sensor
BP2 Series cylindrical reed sensor is a sensor that suits most of the applications. The compact size of this sensor makes it easy for installation, it can also be threaded housing such as M8, M12 and M18 etc.

Metal Reed Sensor
Stainless steel sealed proximity sensor is often applied in tough environment such as outdoor refrigerator, railway equipment and forklift etc. The metal housing ensure the sensor can operate billions of times.

SMD Reed Sensor
BP4 SMD reed sensor sealed in epoxy with axial lead or J lead and packed in tape&reel, it's good for SMD or PCBA process.
