12mm - Reed Switch/Sensor (Magnetic Switch) Gold plated- (NO - Normally open)

12mm Gold Plated Normally Open (NO) Reed Switch Magnetic Sensor

The 12mm Gold Plated Normally Open (NO) Reed Switch is a magnetic sensor. It provides non-contact detection, activating when exposed to a magnetic field. The design incorporates magnetizable, flexible metal reeds, hermetically sealed within a glass envelope. Gold-plated pins enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance. With a compact 12mm length, it integrates into space-constrained projects. This sensor supports up to 1.2A maximum operating current. It is suitable for precise, non-contact switching requirements. The operating temperature range is -50°C to 140°C.
