RS PRO Flat Reed Switch, NO, , 500mA

RS PRO flat sensor are magnetically operated reed proximity switches which have been designed for high temperatures (150°C ) and feature mounting holes for screw fastening. The sensor should be mounted on a fixed surface with the actuating magnet on the moving surface. By presenting or removing the magnetic field determines the closing and opening of the reed switch.
Reed switches are a type of industrial switch and are used to interrupt or redirect the flow of electricity within a circuit. Reed switches are composed of two ferrous reeds in a small glass casing. The switches are magnetised and move when the magnetic field is moved towards the switch. A reed switch can turn on or off when a magnetic field is nearby.
RS PRO have a great range of industrial magnetic proximity switches and magnetic proximity sensors to suit many different applications.
