ABSTRACT:
The reed contact unit comprises a pair of aligned members of magnetizable and electrically conductive material spaced apart endwise from each other. A fillet of non-magnetic electrically conductive material may be inserted between the spaced ends of the members. A flat electrically conductive resilient member supported at its opposite ends carries, at its mid-region, a magnetizable and electrically conductive armature and suspends it over the fillet and the adjacent end portions of the magnetizable members. Upon magnetization of the members, a lower contact surface of the armature engages the ends of the magnetizable members and completes an electric circuit from at least one of the magnetizable members through the resilient member to its support. The magnetizable members and the resilient member are mounted within a sealed enclosure.
