Press-fit reed sensor

20 April 2016 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Littelfuse has introduced the 59040 Series press-fit reed sensor, the company’s first Firecracker reed sensor with crush ribs on the capsule that requires no attachment accessories for installation. This magnetically operated sensor is designed to press-fit securely into a 9,5 mm diameter hole and its enhanced sensitivity allows for a wider air-gap between the sensor and its matching 57040 actuator.

The sensor is designed for mounting on a fixed surface/frame with the magnet actuator mounted on the moving surface/door. It offers three contact options: normally open, normally closed and change-over contacts. It is a UL recognised component and offers switching capability up to 200 V d.c./140 V a.c. at 10 W/VA. A range of sensitivity and cable length options are available.

Typical applications for the 59040 Series Firecracker reed sensor include position sensing in appliances, door/window position sensing in security systems; limit sensing in hydraulic cylinders; and speed and distance measuring/sensing for treadmills and bicycles.
