Explore the Schmersal BN20 Series Magnetic Reed switch, a robust positioning sensor encased in an aluminum enclosure for durability. This rectangular switch features a bias magnet and offers flexible actuation from either the front or side. It's designed with two bistable contacts and can accommodate an actuation distance ranging from 5 mm to 50 mm. Engineered for high performance, it supports a maximum switching voltage of 250 VAC, a switching current up to 3 A, and a switching capacity of 120 W at 300 Hz. The device includes two reed contacts and has dimensions of 104 mm x 52 mm x 47 mm. While actuators are not included and must be purchased separately, this magnetic reed switch promises longevity and reliable operation within a temperature range of -25 deg C to 90 deg C. It also meets IP67 standards according to IEC/EN 60530, ensuring protection against dust and water immersion. Ideal for engineers seeking precision and resilience in position sensing applications.
