Use this reed switch from Sensata Cynergy3 to control the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Its rhodium contacts help to ensure minimal signal loss for quick and reliable switching. You can depend on its durability in harsh industrial environments, as it has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. Its compact length of 36mm makes it a good choice for use with DIP components, such as the location sensors and proximity switches found on automatic doors and tamper-proofing systems.

• Non-contact actuation helps to minimise wear for a longer service life
• Hermetically sealed design means there's no risk of sparking on actuation, making it safe for use in harsh environments

This component has a switching voltage of 24V AC/DC, making it a good choice for use in low-power applications.

Among the most common factors affecting the sensitivity of a reed switch are its position and the orientation of its magnet.
