ReedKontakte

ReedKontakte is a term that refers to specialized electrical connectors designed to interface with reed switches. Reed switches are electromechanical devices that contain a pair of magnetic contacts sealed in a glass envelope. When a magnetic field of sufficient strength is brought near the switch, the contacts close, completing an electrical circuit. ReedKontakte connectors are engineered to facilitate the reliable and secure connection of these reed switches to electronic circuits or wiring harnesses.

These connectors typically feature contacts that are shaped to mate with the leads of the reed switch, often providing strain relief and protection from environmental factors. The design considerations for ReedKontakte include ensuring good electrical conductivity, mechanical stability, and resistance to vibration, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, depending on the application. They are commonly used in applications such as sensors, alarms, limit switches, and control systems where the simplicity, reliability, and low power consumption of reed switches are advantageous. The specific type of ReedKontakte employed can vary widely, from simple wire crimp terminals to more complex multi-pin connectors that may incorporate features like sealing and locking mechanisms.
