Those latitudes are 23.43709°N(S) and are considered the delineation between the temperate zones and subtropical zones. Why are they named "Cancer" and "Capricorn"? [Answer/Discuss]( TECH ARTICLE [] [How to Handle a Reed Switch]( “By design, reed switch raw materials (glass and metal) have a similar coefficient of expansion. They are designed to handle thermal and environmental changes well. The integrity of the glass-to-metal seal must be protected while handling, cutting, bending, mounting, encapsulating, welding, soldering, etc.” [Read this article in its entirety](.
