Electronics Circuit protection Reed switch ultra-miniatureMITI-7 Series Ultra-Miniature Reed Switch is a Form A (single-pole, single-throw normally open or SPST-NO) switch that’s hermetically sealed in a 7-mm-long glass envelope. Device provides sensitivity options ranging from 6AT to 20AT, far wider than existing magnetic switches of comparable size, which were limited to a range of just 6AT to 10AT. New automated assembly equipment has allowed Littelfuse to boost production capacity for these small-format switches, which help circuit designers save space on crowded circuit boards.
