The Magnetic Reed Switch Sensor Module is an electronic sensor that detects the presence of a magnetic field using a reed switch. When a magnet approaches the sensor, the switch changes state, allowing the module to provide a digital signal for microcontrollers and electronic circuits.

Note
The sensing distance depends on the magnet’s strength, orientation, and the specific reed switch. The potentiometer may adjust the module’s signal threshold rather than the reed switch’s intrinsic sensitivity. Verify the pinout and voltage requirements before use.
