APPLICATIONS
The KOFU Brand - Providing Products to Support a Versatile Range of Applications
Reed switches display excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and water. They have been installed in a majority of electronic products ranging from automobiles, communication devices, home electronics, industrial machinery equipment, information appliances, and measuring instruments, to toys. Consequently, the products of Standex Electronics Japan have been thoroughly introduced into our lives, and the scope of their applications will continue to further expand in the future with the advent of new electronic products.
