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 to the right, complemented by two shielding plates for enhanced performance. The front actuation mechanism operates with a bistable contact, allowing for an actuation distance ranging from 5 mm to 55 mm. Engineered to handle switching voltages up to 250 VAC and currents up to 3 A, the BN325 boasts a maximum switching capacity of 120 W at frequencies up to 300 Hz. Its reed contacts ensure reliable operation within temperature ranges of -25 deg C to 70 deg C. Note that actuators are available but must be purchased separately. This magnetic reed switch is rated IP40 for protection against solid objects and comes without ingress protection against liquids. Ideal for various applications requiring precise position sensing, the Schmersal BN325 Series is an essential component in any engineer's toolkit.
