Magnetic contacts

[Rick]

Does anyone know were I can get a good deal on those magnetic contacts for
alarm systems I need about 20. Radio Shack has them but they want $7 each
that's too much

Thanks

They sometimes show up in the surplus market , check the ads in the back of
electronics magazines for free catalogs . If you find some , they are bound
to be significantly cheaper than the $-hack

Get some magnetic reed switches and do your own. I've bought reed

switches for $0.75 each.

Why the hell are they listing magnetic reed switches under clocks,
novelty, when they should be listed under electronics components.
