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

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

This 12mm Gold Plated Normally Open (NO) Reed Switch functions as a magnetic sensor. It enables non-contact detection, activating upon exposure to a magnetic field. The internal structure consists of magnetizable, flexible metal reeds, hermetically sealed within a glass envelope. Gold-plated pins are incorporated to improve electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its compact 12mm length facilitates integration into space-constrained applications. The sensor supports a maximum operating current of 1.2A. It is designed for precise, non-contact switching requirements. An operating temperature range of -50°C to 140°C is supported.
