## 59060 Stainless Steel M8 T ~~hreaded Barrel Sensor + 57060 Actuator~~ 

## **Description** 

The 59060 is a small stainless steel barrel sensor with  an M8 x 1.25mm pitch thread, 36mm (1.420”) long with a choice of normally open, normally open high voltage, normally closed or change over contacts. It is capable of switching up to 265Vac/300Vdc at 10VA. It has a variety range of sensitivity, cable length and connector options. It functions best with the 57060 actuator. 

## **Note: The 57060 Actuator is sold separately.** 

## **Features** 

- Two-part magnetically operated • Choice of normally open or normal proximity sensor open high voltage contacts 

## **Dimensions** 

Dimensions in mm (inch) 

- Stainless steel threaded barrel with retaining nuts

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. 

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.
