TITLE AN ARRANGEMENT FOR LOCKING A REED CAPSULE WITHIN A MAGNETIC LATCHING REED SWITCH ASSEMBLY An arrangement for locking a reed capsule within a tubular bobbin of a reed switch assembly comprising, a deflectable tab located adjacent a slot formed by two upstanding arms. The tab is disposed to deflect inward when a wire return strap connected to a reed capsule is inserted into the slot. When the reed capsule is fully seated within the bobbin the tab returns outward over the wire strap, locking the strap between the tab and the closed end of the slot.
