A magnetically actuated electric switch with a bistable reed switch and with a magnet adapted to be moved past the reed switch within a channel; in its normal position the magnet adheres at a soft iron core and, during occurrence of an acceleration above a predetermined threshold value, is thrown against a compression spring arranged at the other end of the channel; during the to movement, the magnet switches the reed switch into the one stable position and during the fro movement into the other stable position. The switch is suited as acceleration pick-up for vehicles, especially as impact sensor.
