## **Magnetic Proximity Sensors (Reed)** 

## **MP2018 Sensors** 

Reed based magnetic proximity sensor in plastic flange-mount package 

## **Description** 

The MP2 Series sensors are reed position sensors.  Normally open or closed contacts change states when a magnetic field is applied. The sensors act as non-latching electrical switches. 

## **Features** 

- Contacts hermetically sealed for long life 

- Zero power consumption 

- Suitable for DC and AC circuits 

- Flange mount 

- RoHS compliant 

## **Typical Applications** 

   - Door position & interlock 

   - Limit switch 

   - Flow/speed 

   - Home security 

   - Pedal switch 

- IP65 

- Operate/Release Distances*: 6.35 mm – 17.8 mm (0.25” – 0.7”)
