RS PRO Reed Switch 140V ac, 2.75A

Description

RS PRO Compact Reed Proximity Sensor

RS PRO compact reed proximity sensor which feature normally open contacts that close in the presence of a ferrous metal. These sensors are ideal for ferrous metal detection in robotics, automated production lines, security and safety applications.
Options include the following:
136-5753 – Reed switch front sensing
136-5754 – Reed switch bottom sensing
136-5755 – Reed switch top sensing
136-5756 – Reed switch side sensing
136-5757 – Reed switch top sensing

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.
