Offers broad chemical compatibility for general purpose use. Also ideal for oils and water. A medium-size solution for ultra-pure liquid level sensing. Made of corrosion resistant PTFE for low particle generation.
Yes, very low currents (< 5ma) can prevent “cleaning” of the contacts or not have enough energy to maintain low contact resistance. 5ma is likely a good minimum for our standard 20 VA switch. But you also want enough voltage. Approximately, 5V, 5ma is a good minimum. For low current switching we recommend a 10 VA reed switch which can better handle lower loads. (1ma for example).
What is the life expectancy of a reed switch?
A reed switch is extremely rugged and designed to operate reliably for many years, under ideal conditions, up to about 2 million cycles. To achieve maximum service life, reed switches benefit from protected electrical supply.
Small compact level switches combines reliability with low cost. The LS-1700 Series Single-Point Level Switch unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed SPST 20 VA reed switch and is operated by permanent magnets within the float. As the float is...
