Description

The reed switch is simply a magnetic activated switch, as long as a magnet is close to it the reed switch will remain closed. This switch should close when the included magnet is within 15mm of the switch. Once the magnet is removed, the switch opens, breaking the circuit. The reed switch can handle a maximum of 100mA and a maximum of 200VDC.

Each half of the sensor can be mounted with the included adhesive backing. Alternatively, there are also screw holes. The mounting holes are 18.2mm apart (measured center to center) on both the sensor and the magnet. The housings for both the sensor and the magnet 27.5 x 13.6 x 9mm each, with the sensor including a 300mm wire leads.

If you need the opposite logic, we also carry a Normally Closed version as well.
