There are a lot of Reed Switches in the world. I know a guy whose last name is Reed and he switched from engineering to medicine. I call that the Medical Reed Switch, and while Dr. Reed is off saving lives, you can use KEMET’s TRS Thermal Reed Switches to monitor temperatures and save energy. The TRS is designed with a magnet and Thermorite, a proprietary ferromagnetic material that enables fast, precise, and reliable on/off operation.
KEMET offers TRS devices with switching temperatures from negative 10 to positive 130 degrees Celsius, with plus or minus 2.5 degree accuracy. Both make and break configurations are available, with power ratings up to 60.5W and voltage ratings up to 200V. TRS Thermal Reed Switches are compact, lightweight, and offered in axial, wire harness, case, and molded types for application versatility. They’re also dust, explosion, and corrosion proof, with UL and CSA approval on select products.
