The Standex Detect blog provides in-depth insights into reed switches, relays, and sensor technologies that power innovation across industries. Here you’ll find technical expertise, product updates, and application examples designed to support engineers, designers, and decision-makers as they explore reliable solutions for detection challenges.
As portable electronics continue to grow, reducing power consumption is more critical than ever. Engineers are turning to energy-efficient components like Form B reed sensors and latching reed relays, which operate with little to no power. Reed switch technology enables low-power design by using magnetic fields instead of electricity to control switching functions.
Burn-in testers challenge every aspect of relay performance. At low-voltage, accuracy can be compromised by resistance drift, parasitics, and contamination. At high-voltage, isolation and leakage risks threaten both safety and data integrity. Across both domains, long-duration thermal stress demands endurance.

A reed relay is a compact electromagnetic switching device that uses a coil and sealed reed contacts to control electrical signals. In this guide, we explain what a reed relay is, how it works, and why it’s ideal for high-reliability applications.
Reed switches used in a reed relay application are critical for achieving precise, low‑level switching in modern electronic systems. A reed relay combines the hermetically sealed reliability of reed switches with an electromagnetic coil, making it ideal for applications that demand high insulation resistance, low contact resistance, and long operational life.
Reed switches and Hall effect sensors are two widely used magnetic sensing technologies, each offering distinct advantages depending on power, speed, reliability, and environmental requirements. While both rely on magnetic fields for actuation, their operating principles differ significantly making the choice between them critical for system performance and efficiency.
Dynamic contact resistance (DCR) testing plays a critical role in ensuring long-term reed switch reliability. While reed switches appear simple, the act of switching involves complex mechanical and electrical interactions that can lead to premature failure if not properly tested.
Understanding how a magnet interacts with a reed switch is critical for reliable sensor and switching performance. In this article, you’ll learn: • How magnetic flux influences reed switch operation • How magnet position and movement affect contact behavior • Common magnet orientations used in reed sensor applications
