CAT 398-0940 Magnetic Switch

Product Description :

• It is a type of electrical switch that is activated by the presence of a magnetic field. It is commonly used in various applications where non-contact switching is desirable.
• A magnetic reed switch consists of two or more thin, ferromagnetic reeds enclosed in a glass tube. The reeds are normally open or closed depending on their position and are made to contact or separate when a magnetic field is present.
• When a magnetic field (typically from a permanent magnet) is brought near the switch, the reeds inside the glass tube move. This movement causes the reeds to either come together (in a normally open switch) or separate (in a normally closed switch), completing or breaking the electrical circuit.
• The Magnetic Switch is a non-contact sensor device that uses magnetic fields to detect movement, position, or proximity, and to open or close an electrical circuit. Designed for durability and precision, magnetic switches are widely used in safety systems, automation, security, and control applications.
