A glass reed switch on a KY-025 board, with an LM393 comparator and a ten-turn trim pot behind it. Bring a magnet within about 10-30 mm and the reed snaps closed; take it away and it opens. Worth knowing before you buy: because the reed is a mechanical switch, the A0 pin only ever sits at one of two levels - it will not tell you how strong the field is, so if you need a proportional reading you want a Hall sensor instead. Runs on 3.3-5V with power and trigger LEDs.

Key features

  • Glass reed switch, normally open
  • Digital D0 and analog A0 outputs
  • Magnet detected at about 10 - 30 mm
  • A0 swings between two levels, not proportional
  • LM393 comparator with a 10-turn trim pot
  • 3.3 - 5V supply, 36 x 15 x 14 mm board
