I found it. It is a reed switch for a water heater and I purchased a replacement from the same water heater manufacturer.

Is it a BROKEN reed switch?
Bare reed switches are pretty common from surplus dealers like goldmine-elec-products.com, but your photo doesn’t look like the ones I’ve seen.

I did a search and you are right. I could not find it either. It is most likely the manufacturers own part. In any case, the part was for a friend who is not very technical and was happy to order it directly from the manufacturer.
