Measuring only 1.11 mm3, Coto Technology Inc. says the RedRock RR100 sensor is half the size of its original design and the world’s smallest MEMS-based magnetic reed sensor. The single-pole, single throw (SPST) device with normally open ruthenium contacts can be actuated by an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or a combination of both. The sensor’s […]

Magnetic Reed Switch uses MEMS Technology
Switches often provide sensing information in go/no-go or on/off applications. For example, they are used in vehicles to indicate the gear lever position and sufficient fluid level for the brake fluid reservoir. For these and other applications that require a small, high-performance switch, a new Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)-based magnetic reed switch from Coto Technology Inc. […]
