Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between reed switches and reed relays?
- Reed switches are magnetically actuated switch contacts sealed in a glass envelope. Reed relays incorporate reed switches with an electromagnetic coil, allowing electrical control of the switching action for automated applications.
- What types of sensors does Standex-Meder offer?
- Standex-Meder offers reed-based sensors for fluid level, proximity, motion detection, water flow, HVAC condensate monitoring, and hydraulic pressure differential measurement.
- Does Standex-Meder manufacture transformers?
- Yes, Standex-Meder produces a comprehensive range of power magnetics including 50/60 Hz transformers, planar transformers, toroidal transformers, high-frequency transformers, inductors, chokes, and current sense transformers.
- Where are Standex-Meder products manufactured?
- Standex-Meder Electronics operates nine manufacturing facilities across six countries: United States, Germany, China, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Japan.
