Product Overview
Standex Magnetic ORD324-1015 is a miniature hermetically sealed glass reed switch configured for 1 Form A (normally open) operation. Built with iridium contacts in an inert gas atmosphere, this switch offers high insulation resistance and fast response for low-level signal switching, proximity detection, and magnetic sensing circuits.
Key Features
- Contact form: 1 Form A (SPST-NO, Normally Open)
- Magnetic pull-in sensitivity: 10 to 15 AT (Ampere-Turns)
- Contact material: Iridium (Ir)
- Max switching voltage: 200 VDC / 150 VAC
- Max switching current: 0.5 A DC
- Max contact power rating: 10 W
- Max carry current: 1.0 A DC
- Initial contact resistance: 100 mΩ maximum
- Glass capsule dimensions: 14.0 mm length by 2.2 mm diameter
- Overall length: 44.3 mm with 0.5 mm diameter axial leads
Applications
- Position and proximity sensing in automated equipment, door interlocks, and security systems
- Liquid level sensing when actuated by a floating permanent magnet
- Low-power instrumentation, counter circuits, and pulse-counting sensors
- Creative maker builds including custom magnetic pickups, bicycle speedometers, and non-contact limit switches
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pull-in sensitivity of this switch?
This model operates within a 10 to 15 AT (Ampere-Turns) magnetic pull-in range, closing the contacts when a suitable magnetic field is applied.
Can this switch be bent or trimmed for PCB installation?
Yes, but the lead wire should be supported firmly between the bend point and the glass seal to avoid cracking the hermetic seal during forming or cutting.
What contact material is used inside the glass capsule?
The contacts are made of iridium (Ir) sealed in an inert gas atmosphere, which helps prevent oxidation and maintains low contact resistance.
Nothing quite matches the clean simplicity of a sealed glass capsule closing a circuit with just the pass of a magnet. Form the leads, bring in the field, and let the switch do its work.
