MK20- Series Cylindrical Reed Sensors Characteristics MK20 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. Introduction and removal of the magnetic field determines the closing and opening of the Reed Switch. The magnetic pull-in / drop-out sensitivity is divided into three AT ranges. A choice of switches, termination options and cable lengths is offered.

MK20- Series

Cylindrical Reed Sensors

Characteristics

MK20 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. Introduction and removal of the magnetic field determines the closing and opening of the Reed Switch. The magnetic pull-in / drop-out sensitivity is divided into three AT ranges. A choice of switches, termination options and cable lengths is offered.

Applications

Position and limit switch
Pneumatic or hydraulic actuator position indication and end
travel limit switch

Security system applications
door and window contacts

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

Dimensions

Tolerance +/- 0.10mm (0.004 inch)
(Flat side indicates maximum sensitivity)

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 (0.2inch)

Individual crimped terminals 1mm(0.04inch) diameter

Individual spade terminals, 2.8 x 0.8mm(0.11 x 0.03inch)
