SIP Reed Sensors are designed to sense the presence or absence of a magnetic field. This versatile sensor is widely used in various industries and applications due to its reliable performance and compact size and is suitable for mounting on PCBs with plated through holes.
With its small form factor, the SIP Reed Sensor offers flexibility in installation, making it suitable for space-constrained environments. This sensor operates on the principle of reed contacts, which are metal blades that come into contact or separate based on the presence of a magnetic field. This design ensures a quick response and a long lifecycle, making the sensor highly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
These Reed Sensor boast excellent electrical characteristics, including low contact resistance, high insulation resistance, and fast switching times. Its contact rating ranges from low to high voltage, making it suitable for a wide range of voltage requirements in different applications.
These sensors can be used in applications such as position and proximity sensing, liquid level detection, security systems, and door and window monitoring. The SIP Reed Sensor can also be integrated into medical equipment, automotive systems, and industrial machinery, among other devices.
Furthermore, its compatibility with various types of magnets enhances its versatility and makes it easy to integrate into existing systems. Additionally, the SIP Reed Sensor is easy to install and maintain, ensuring minimal downtime and hassle-free operation.
These Single-inline-Pin (SIP) devices are Normally Open, mountable on PCBs having through holes and are Omni-polar. We manufacture these in a range of sizes and mounting pitches, capable of switching the lowest of 1W loads, up to 30 W. Cropping the leads after soldering will decrease the operate distance.
The MS-104, MS-105 and MS-106 Reed Sensors can be used on PCBs with less space such as in level sensing applications, and the MS-108 which has a larger footprint, can be used to switch higher loads, such as in electricity and gas meters. The IR-xxxx type comes with an integrated resistor which is convenient for use on level sensing PCBs.
