Description: This is a magnetic reed switch, the type normally used for door alarms and buzzers. Comes as a reed switch enclosed in a plastic body with wires. The plastic body has pre-applied double sided foam tape and mounting holes in case you would like to mount it with screws (screws not included). The includes mating part is a magnet incased in a similar plastic housing also with double sided foam tape and mounting holes.
When the magnet is close (less than 15mm) to the reed switch, the reed switch is closed (there is a connection between the two wires). When the magnet is moved away from the reed switch the circuit is broken.
