  2. Reed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_switch

    The reed is hermetically sealed and can therefore operate in almost any environment, such as where flammable gas is present or where corrosion would affect open switch contacts. A reed switch has very low resistance when closed, typically as low as 0.05 ohms, whereas the Hall effect sensors can be in the hundreds of ohms. A reed switch requires ...

  3. Reed relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_relay

    A reed relay [i] is a type of relay that uses an electromagnet to control one or more reed switches. The contacts are of magnetic material and the electromagnet acts directly on them without requiring an armature to move them. Sealed in a long, narrow glass tube, the contacts are protected from corrosion.

  4. Hermetic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_seal

    When the glass and the metal being hermetically sealed have the same coefficient of thermal expansion, a "matched seal" derives its strength from bond between the glass and the metal's oxide. This type of glass-to-metal hermetic seal is generally used for low-intensity applications such as in light bulb bases.

  5. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    A reed relay is a reed switch enclosed in a solenoid. The switch has a set of contacts inside an evacuated or inert gas-filled glass tube that protects the contacts against atmospheric corrosion; the contacts are made of magnetic material that makes them move under the influence of the field of the enclosing solenoid or an external magnet.

  6. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) mercury switch on millimetre graph paper, device length approximately 1.5 cm Another mercury switch design. A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic ...

  7. Vacuum interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_interrupter

    A vacuum interrupter generally has one fixed and one moving contact, a flexible bellows to allow movement of that contact, and arc shields enclosed in a hermetically-sealed glass, ceramic or metal housing with a high vacuum. The moving contact is connected by a flexible braid to the external circuit, and is moved by a mechanism when the device ...

  8. Buchholz relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchholz_relay

    Two ball-shaped floats and two glass-enclosed reed switches are visible inside this cutaway view of a Buchholz relay. Buchholz relays have been applied on oil-filled power and distribution transformers at least since the 1940s. The relay is connected to the oil piping between the overhead conservator tank and the main oil tank of a transformer.

  9. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (a float switch), the turning of a key , linear or rotary movement (a limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch). Many switches are operated automatically by ...
