Review on Gebildet 10Pcs Plastic Reed Switch Reed Contact Normally Closed Magnetic Induction Switch With 20Pcs Small Multi-Use Round Magnets by Nick Kirschenmann

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too fragile. Cannot handle rated power.

Glass is very fragile. Bending the legs in any way without first supporting the base of the wire will break the glass 100% of the time. But especially when I plug 5W into the switch for a few minutes, the tabs get stuck and won't switch with a magnet anymore. I've tried this on both the NO side and the NC side. After applying 5 watts of power to the switch for a few minutes, the reeds will remain attached to the rod you operated. I even tested it with 3W. Still stuck after a few minutes. Essentially, these SPDT reed switches are too sensitive and cannot handle the power rating.

Pros
  • max. switching current: 0.5 A; Maximum charging current: 1.0A.
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
