In the simple example just covered, important information is immediately gained from the boundary portrayals. Furthermore, if the designer is looking for maximum sensitivity, the design must be changed. The end view clearly indicates the lack of sensitivity because the magnet has to travel farther vertically downward. If the positions of the magnet and reed sensor can not be moved because of design or operating constraints, the sensitivity of the reed sensor can be increased which will in turn, shorten the magnet travel distance to close the contacts. The other option would be to use a stronger magnet. This will usually add to the component cost.
