Explore the Schmersal BN325 Series Magnetic Reed switch, a robust position sensor designed for precision and durability. Encased in a thermoplastic housing, this rectangular switch features a spade connector with a terminal connector cable outlet positioned on the left and includes two shielding plates for enhanced performance. The front-actuated bistable contact allows for actuation distances ranging from 5 mm to 55 mm. Engineered to handle switching voltages up to 250 VAC and currents up to 3 A, it boasts a maximum switching capacity of 120 W at a frequency of 300 Hz. This magnetic reed switch operates reliably within a temperature range of -25 deg C to 70 deg C and is rated IP40 for protection against solid objects. Note that actuators are not included and must be purchased separately. Ideal for various applications requiring precise position sensing, the Schmersal BN325 is an essential component in any engineer's toolkit.
