**Reed Sensors** Firecracker > 59025 

## 59025 Firecracker Reed Se ~~nsor + 57025 Actuator~~ 

## **Description** 

The 59025 Firecracker Reed Sensor is a small cylindrical reed sensor, 25.4mm (L) x 6.22mm (Dia.) (1.00” x 0.245”), with a choice of normally open, normally closed or change-over contacts. It is capable of switching up to 265Vac/300Vdc at 10VA. The 59025 Firecracker Reed Sensor is  available with a range of sensitivity and cable length options. It functions best with the 57025 actuator. 

## **Note: The 57025 Actuator is sold separately.** 

## **Features** 

## **Agency Approvals** 

- Magnetically-operated proximity sensor 

- Hermetically sealed contacts 

- Operates through non-ferrous materials such as wood, plastic or aluminum 

- Customer-defined sensitivity option 

- Custom cable length and connector options available 

- RoHS compliant

## **Benefits** 

- Fits nicely into small confined spaces 

- Quick and easy to install 

- Well suited for usage in highmoisture and contaminated environments 

- Non-contact solution, aesthetically more appealing than push-button or lever mechanical-type switches 

## **Applications** 

- Position and limit sensing 

- Security 

- Ideal for battery-powered applications as the contacts do not draw power when in the nonactivated state 

- Reed contacts last for millions of operating cycles under microcontroller logic level loads 

- Level sensing 

- Linear actuators

Notes: 

1. Contact rating - Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wattage rating. Contact Littelfuse for additional load/life information. 

2. When switching inductive and/or capacitive loads, the effects of transient voltages and/or currents should be considered. Refer to Application Notes AN108A and AN107 for details. 

3. Breakdown Voltage - per MIL-STD-202, Method 301. Leakage current is less than 0.1mA for 60 seconds. 

4. Electrical Load Life Expectancy - Contact Littelfuse with voltage, current values along with type of load. 

5. This resistance value is for 11.81mm wire length. Resistance changes when wire lengthens. 

6. Operate (including bounce)/Release Time - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A, diode suppressed coil (Coil II). 

7. Shock and Vibration - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A and MIL-STD-202. 

8. For custom modifications to the wire length or size, or adding a special connector, please contact Littelfuse. 

9. Custom sensitivities and a high voltage switch are options
