MK18- Series

Cylindrical magnetically operated Reed Sensors

Characteristics

MK18 sensors are magnetically operated Reed proximity switches in a cylindrical module, fitted with interconnect cable. The sensor should be mounted on a fixed surface with the actuating magnet, e.g. M3, on the moving surface. The Reed Sensor and magnet must be fixed in a definite distance to each other. Approximation resp. removal of the magnet determines the closing and opening of the Reed Switch. The magnetic pull-in / drop-out sensitivity is divided into five AT ranges. A choice of switches, termination options and cable lengths is offered.

Applications

Position- and limit switch
e.g. pneumatic or hydraulic actuator position indication and end
travel limit switch

Door and window contacts
for the security system applications

Level sensor
use with magnetic floats for water level detection e.g. coffee-
makers, washing-machines, dish-washers

Dimensions

Tolerance +/- 0.10mm (0.004 inch)

Termination

The standard termination is a two-wire flat cable with a cross section of 2 x 0.14mm². The standard cable length is 500mm, other lengths can be supplied on request. The required length has to be stated on the part number. The cable end can be supplied with the following connection styles (please note after the length in the part number).

Cable end cut, dismantled on 30 mm, cores stripped and tinned on 5 mm
