Anti-Vibration Reed Switch | Plastic Body 2x14mm | 10pc Pack GPS-14B

This reed switch comes in a plastic case, which protects it more than a standard glass one. The molded plastic helps shield the switch inside from vibrations and bumps. You can get this plastic reed switch in both Normally Open and Normally Closed versions. Features and Benefits - Molded plastic case - The housing adds protection. This makes it a good choice for industrial or car settings where there are bumps and vibrations. - NO and NC options - Pick a Normally Open (GPS-14B/MKA14103) switch to close a circuit, or a Normally Closed (GPS-14A/MKA10110) one to open a circuit when a magnet is there. - Standard 2x14mm internal switch - This common size fits many designs. The plastic body adds protection to the magnetic switch. - Flat, solderable leads - The leads are easy to use. They make a solid connection to a circuit board or wires for your project. Applications - Works well as a door sensor where bumps or vibrations are common, such as in a car or on machinery. - Can be used as a non-touch limit switch on equipment. It confirms that safety guards or access panels are shut. - Put it into commercial products or appliances. It's a more sturdy part compared to a bare glass switch. What It Is This Anti-Vibration Reed Switch is a compact proximity sensor, measuring 2 x 14 mm. It features a plastic body, making it damage resistant. As a Normally Open (N/O) reed switch, it operates by detecting the presence of a magnetic field, which causes its internal contacts to close. This makes it a type of industrial sensor, suitable for various applications where a robust and reliable switching mechanism is required. Its anti-vibration feature ensures consistent performance in environments subject to movement or shock. Key Uses & Applications This proximity sensor is designed for applications requiring reliable detection with anti-vibration properties. Proximity sensors work by sensing the presence or absence of an object without physical contact. This reed switch, specifically, works by closing its internal contacts when a magnetic field is introduced. Typical uses include: - Position sensing in machinery where space is limited due to its 2 x 14 mm dimensions. - Level detection in fluid containers, offering a damage resistant solution. - Security systems for door or window monitoring. - Integration into electronics modules for various control tasks. How to Choose When selecting a proximity sensor, consider the specific application requirements. For this Anti-Vibration Reed Switch, its 2 x 14 mm plastic body and damage resistant features are key. If you need a Normally Open (N/O) switch, this product is suitable. To test a proximity sensor like this, you would typically bring a magnet near the switch and observe if its electrical state changes. Other factors to consider for proximity sensors in general include sensing distance (e.g., 5 cm for some types), material to be detected, and environmental conditions. This particular reed switch is designed for anti-vibration applications.
