OCTOPUS Magnetic Switch is a kind of electric brick carrying magnetic switch and compatible with OCTOPUS series. It mainly consists of WBSF12 dry reed switch. WBSF12 is a dry reed tube with frequently open contact point. When magnet come close to a certain distance,switch within WBSF12 will close. Under this principle, it can be used to detect magnet around. With magnet and WBSF12 combined , it can control links between electronic components.
