Driving Innovation in Every Circuit: From ICE to EV, Our Reed Switches, Sensors, and Relays Power the Future of Passenger Vehicle Design

Scalable Solutions for Electrification, Automation, and Efficiency
The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by electrification, automation, and the shift toward software-defined vehicles. As vehicles become more intelligent and connected, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) require components that are not only reliable and scalable but also capable of enhancing safety, efficiency, and the overall driving experience. From advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to smart interior features, precision reed switches, sensors, and relays play a vital role in modern vehicle design.
The following are core technology applications that support innovation in passenger automotive systems:
Core Capabilities for Passenger Automotive:
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems): Hall sensors can be used for steering angle and pedal position sensing.
- Sunroof and window position detection: Reed sensors provide reliable open/close feedback.
- Fuel cap and EV charging port detection: Reed switches ensure secure closure and tamper detection.
