RS PRO Proximity Switch 250V ac, 0.5A

RS PRO range of rectangular magnetic proximity reed switches which provide a simple and cost-effective solution to position or limit sensing applications. Reed switches are often employed to carry out such functions as linear actuator switches, security system switches and door switches.
Options include:
811-0748 - Proximity Switch - Reed based changeover contacts
811-0736 - Proximity Switch - Normally Open Contacts
811-0745 - Rectangular Encapsulated Magnet

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.
RS PRO have a great range of industrial magnetic proximity switches and magnetic proximity sensors to suit many different applications.
