Description

Pre-wired proximity switch, for cold room doors, which is housed in aluminium and suitable for harsh environments.
Reed switches are a type of industrial switch and are used to interrupt or redirect the flow of electricity within a circuit. Reed switches are composed of two ferrous reeds in a small glass casing. The switches are magnetised and move when the magnetic field is moved towards the switch. A reed switch can turn on or off when a magnetic field is nearby.

Note: The normal condition is with no magnet present

Typical Applications:

Reed Proximity Switches and Proximity Sensors (also known as magnetic sensors) are popular due to their reliability and simple design.
Magnetic proximity switches are a type of electromagnetic switch which controls the flow of electricity within a circuit. Magnetic proximity switches can be used in the following applications:
Position sensing
Linear actuators
Security switching
Safety guards/devices
