Product description
The magnetic reed switch has been developed for situations in which
minimal clearance is available. Despite its compact dimensions, its
switching capacity is sufficient to switch a relay.
The NC or NO function depends on the actuating direction and the
polarity of the actuating magnet. The actuators for the magnetic safety
sensors must be ordered separately.
