Magnetic Reed Switches
and Custom Components
Standex manufactures a wide variety of products used in security
and fire detection/suppression systems. We are a world leader in
the manufacture of magnetic reed switches for security and fire
detection systems, as well as wound magnetics including custom
transformers.
Reed Switches are broadly applied in the security industry to monitor
door and window position and are also used in glass break detection
applications, all important in building perimeter protection. In fire
detection systems Reed Switches are used in smoke detector test
circuits. In reed relays, Reed Switches are applied in many security and
fire detection control modules.
Our unique production processes yield Reed Switches with very tight
magnetic, mechanical and electrical properties. This allows us to
provide very tight ranges of magnetic sensitivity (AT) with a minimal
impact on material cost. In depth application assistance is available
worldwide.
Many applications for Reed Switches in the security marketplace
require value added reed switch assemblies such as molded SMT
packages as assembly of these systems becomes more automated.
Our wound magnetic product lines contain many custom transformer
products with agency registrations required by this industry.
Typical applications for wound transformers include power supply
applications in fire and security control panels. These applications
include control panels and control panel enclosures for CCTV cameras
as well as building entry systems.

Typical applications for transformers and assemblies in fire and
security systems:
•t CCTV power supply enclosure
•t Security control panel power
•t Fire detection control panels
•t Building access systems with building intercom and electric door
strike features
•t Key fob interface antennas for automotive security applications
