MS-106 Reduced Miniature PCB Mountable Reed Sensor
Features
10W Contact Rating. 15.2 mm PCB Pitch. Normally Open contact. Two sensitivity bands. Two Lead Formations. Bulk Packed in Boxes.
Description
This miniature PCB mountable reed sensor is designed for switching 10W. The internal blades always parallel to the top surface of the sensor. The sensors are tested 100% for operate and release AT, Contact Resistance and Variable Contact Resistance before packing. Being an omnipolar device, this sensor can be actuated with either a north pole or a south pole or both. Choosing the right AT band, magnet strength, and operating axis, will restrict the number of operates and releases to one.
