Use this IMI Norgren reed switch to operate cylinders and actuators in your industrial equipment. The compact connector plugs in easily to make connections quick and easy. It switches your applications on and off through the use of magnetic fields, so isn't reliant on an external power source. An IP66 (ingress protection) rating indicates the unit is completely protected from the entry of damaging particles like dust and water jets, which means you can use this switch in heavy-duty settings.

• Robust and durable plastic body and cable covers withstand corrosion and abrasion
• Resists vibrations for use with tough applications
• Response times of 0.5 to 2ms ensure rapid switching between on and off for the efficient control of repeat-action operations
• 5m cable for installation flexibility

• Alarm systems
• Defence systems
• Aerospace applications
• Medical and pharmaceutical diagnostics equipment

Because many reed switches are used for proximity sensing applications, they're activated by a magnet. Once the magnet of the cylinder or actuator comes close to the sensor, it activates or closes the NO (normally open) contacts to allow the conduction of electricity.
