The Reed Switch is used where a circuit requires to be switched by an electrical signal from a different circuit (same function as a "relay"). The two circuits are not electrically connected. In addition, a reed switch can switch very rapidly and repetitively. The reed switch is a SPDT (single pole double throw switch) where a contact can switch to either of 2 others. If a capacitor needs to be charged and discharged maybe 5 or 10 or 20 or 40 times per second, the reed switch can do it. The coil can be fed at an adjustable rate from any of the IEC Signal Generators.
