Trigger a wearable circuit with a nearby magnet using this LilyPad Reed Switch. The mechanical contacts close under a magnetic field and open when it is removed. A plastic-encased switch provides the board’s sensing element, offering a sewable input for hidden closures or other non-contact interactions in an e-textile project.

Before you buy
