PIC
FASTECH represents PIC in the interior of Mexico
PIC Proximity Instrumentation Controls Kontaktbauelemente GmbH – or PIC for short - is a globally active medium-sized company in the Nuremberg, Germany area and at the same time the heart of the PIC Group. Founded over 40 years ago, we are one of today's leading manufacturers and suppliers of Magnetic Sensor Assemblies. High technical competence, many years of experience, state-of-the-art production facilities and innovative implementation of customer requirements make us the ideal partner for manufacturers in the fields of white goods, household appliances, sports and fitness equipment, automation and building technology, medical technology, metering and measure-and-control systems.
TMR SENSORS - THE NEXT GENERATION OF SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
PIC TMR Sensors are characterised by ultra-low power consumption combined with maximum magnetic sensitivity. This makes even large switching distances or the use of miniature magnets possible. Our TMR sensors are available as bipolar and omnipolar versions in three different housing shapes.
(TMR is the abbreviation for Tunnel MagnetoResistance)
REED SWITCHES
The Reed Switch, also known as Reed Contact or Magnetic Contact, is the ideal component for non-touch switching. It is most economic switching component, handling loads from signal load up to 250 W in a wide range of applications.
INTERACTIVE REED SWITCH
A Reed Switch consists of a pair of ferromagnetic reeds, overlapping at their free ends (contact area) at a very small distance and hermetically sealed in a glass tube. The contact area is plated with contact material such as Ruthenium or Rhodium. In presence of a magnetic field the reeds become magnetized the opposite polarity, thus attracting each other and closing contact.
Reed Switch advantages
- No power supply required
- Contacts hermetically sealed
- Most economic non-touch switching solution
- Not ESD sensitive
- Various methods of actuation possible
SMD REED SWITCHES
SMD Reed Switches are the cost-effective solution for automated PCB assembly, available in tape & reel packaging. Choose from over 20 models and three contact forms! Of course, we also offer our SMD reed switches already assembled on individually printed circuit boards - according to your specifications.
