Description

A magnet switch contact consists of two flat contact blades which have been infused into a glass bulb filled with protective gas. Due to the approach of a permanent magnet the interleaved ends of the contact blades are attracted to each other and touch each other abruptly. With the permanent magnet removed the contact blades will promptly demagnetise themselves and leap back into their idle state. A magnet switch has an almost complete lack of idleness and it may be called a „ quasi-electronic component “.
