TYPICAL REED CONTACT PROTECTIONS

WORKING PRINCIPLE =

Magnetic proximity switches are made of reed contacts whose thin plates, trap-

The plate’s surface has been treated with a special material particularly suitable C R
for low current or high inductive circuits. Magnetic sensors compared to tradi-
tional mechanical switches have the following advantage:
