The reed switch is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 by W. B. Ellwood. It consists of a pair of contacts on ferrous metal reeds in a hermetically sealed glass envelope. There are two types of reed switches: "normally open" reed switches and "normally closed" reed switches. The metal reeds on a normally open switch stay open when there is no magnet near the switch. In the presence of a magnetic field, the contacts of a normally-open reed switch will close. A normally-closed reed switch is closed when it is not near a magnet, as a magnet is brought close to it, a normally-closed switch will open.
