Compact magnetic switch

Door openning detector, simple and efficient

This sensor is mainly a magnetic contact commonly called "reed switch". The contact is inserted in a molded plastic support. At rest, therefore without solicitation of the magnet, the reed switch is open (no connection between the two wires).

The other half of the sensor is a magnet. When the magnet is within 13mm of the switch, it closes.

This type of sensor is mainly used to detect the opening of a cabinet door, which is why it is supplied with fixing lugs and screws. The latter are also equipped with double-sided tapes for easy installation without having to screw the screws.

Contains

• Reed switch + corresponding magnet
• 4 fixing screws
• The application of a double-sided tape (to facilitate positioning)
• 25 cm of wires to connect more easily the Reed Switch on your projects.
