Dear all,
I have designed a battery(Lithium-Ion, 5.2 Amp/Hr) operated instrument. Instrument when switched on takes 1.5 amp of current.
I have conneted a reed switch(RI-25C,coto technology) having switching current capacity of 1 Amp and continuous carry current capacity of 3 Amp in series to battery.
Reed switch closes when a magnet is brought near to it and opens when the magnet is taken away.
Problem is when i interface the reed swith with the battery and bring the magnet near to it ,it closes and the instrument is powered,but when i bring the magnet away from the reed switch it still remains in closed state only and does not open.
If any one have the experiance in using reed switch or have an idea to solve the problem please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreekanth Reddy.M
