Description
Magnetic Control Module Reed Switch Sensor
The Reed Switch Magnetic Sensor Module is a magnetic field detection module that uses a glass-encapsulated reed switch and an LM393 comparator IC to detect nearby magnets. When a magnet is brought close to the reed switch, the internal contacts close, causing the module to generate a digital output signal. The onboard potentiometer allows users to adjust the detection sensitivity, while status LEDs provide instant visual indication of power and signal output.
This module is ideal for security systems, door and window monitoring, position sensing, automation projects, and DIY electronics.
