Sensata / Cynergy3 Reed Switch Magnet for use with Reed Switch

For use with reed switches

Open or close an electrical circuit automatically with this reed switch magnet from Sensata Cynergy3. Its magnetic field causes the contacts inside a reed switch's casing to move together, allowing electricity to flow between them. This bar-shaped component is compatible with standard and miniature models (118-7035 and 229-3709), as well as changeover (394-428), sub-miniature and tiny switches (118-7120, 229-3658, 229-3664, 229-3670 and 229-3692), making it a versatile choice. Magnets like this one are commonly used in safety applications, including shut-off devices, tamper-proofing systems and automatic braking assists.

• Compact dimensions of 12.7 (L) x 3.2 (W) x 1.6mm (D) mean it will add minimal bulk to your setup
• Polarised along its length to allow for direct and indirect actuation
• Switches have a broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +150°C for use in demanding environments

A changeover switch works by breaking one circuit and closing another, so it lets you change between two power sources in response to this unit's magnetic field.
