Hello,
I am working on a project that will use a reed switch. I have been trying to find the most sensitive reed switch on the market, but have been confused.
Basically I am making a device that will open a door using a solenoid, and I want to trigger it from as far away as possible using a neo magnet about the size of 3 nickels stacked together.
I have found some sites that sell reed switches, but couldn't tell what to get for my needs. I will need a switch that is normally open.
Also, is there anything else besides a reed switch that you could suggest that would allow me to have something tiny that could trigger a switch that is not magnetic?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tikiguy
