   Dry Reed Switch
 
     Contains ferromagnetic contact blades sealed in a glass container with an inert gas.
 
   Mercury Wetted Reed Switch
 
     Mercury is contact material for electrical circuit, mercury to mercury. The contacting faces are renewed by capillary action drawing a film of mercury over the surfaces of the constant switching members as the movable contact member is moved from one position to another.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary switches
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Contact Position       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Center Gap
 
     Gap (contact meeting) is in center of reed switch.
 
   Off Center Gap
 
     Gap (contact meeting) is not in center of reed switch.

Pole and Throw Specifications




   Pole and Throw Specifications       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST)
 
     A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has two terminals. It is commonly referred to as a "Single-Pole" Switch.
 
   Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT)
 
     A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has 3 terminals, and is commonly used in pairs and called a "Three-Way" switch.
 
   Double Pole, Single Throw (DPST)
 
     A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals.
 
   Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT)
 
     A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. This switch typically has six terminals and is available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary switch poles and throws.
