    Calculating a magnet size needed from an Amp-Turn reading

    Thank you both for your replys! MUR2- What type of geomytry is needed? Switch geometry? coil used to obtain the 140-170 NI? And I was mainly trying to understand the weakest possible magnet when been placed in a certain arangment so as to not actuate other reed switches. Log- You are absolutly...

    Calculating a magnet size needed from an Amp-Turn reading

    Mike- Thank you for your Reply! I'm having troubles viewing the file that you directed me too... dango. Anyway i was just curious how you came about that realization of 150-250 Gauss, is that from experience? Or was there a certain calculation that you ran through? I was doing some prelim...

    Calculating a magnet size needed from an Amp-Turn reading

    This might be complete retardness, but I am struggling with being able to calculate a needed magnet strength to actuate a certain reed switch that I am thinking of using for a design. The specification sheet for the switch claims it requires 140-170 amp-turns to actuate it, I would like to...
