MK5-
Series

Magnetically operated Reed Sensor with long hole for screw fastening

Characteristics

MK5 sensors are magnetically operated Reed proximity switches designed for screw mounting. The sensor should be mounted on a fixed surface with the actuating magnet, e.g. M5, on the moving surface.  The Reed Sensor and the 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 flats for water level detection e.g. coffee-makers, washing-machines, dish-washers

Dimensions

Tolerance +/- 0.10mm (0.004 inch)
