L-Series Magnetic Switches

Magnasphere’s ferrous-metal sensing switch eliminates the magnet

Image of Magnasphere L-Series Magnetic SwitchesThe L-series from Magnasphere offers remarkable ferrous-metal proximity sensing. Unlike typical reed switch devices, they need no magnet actuator. The L-series offers a robust, compact, low-cost, two-wire switch for security or industrial use. The L-series can also be configured as a magnetically tamper-resistant device. The robust, all-metal construction and design make it highly resistant to permanent contact welding due to power surges.

Features
  • Ferrous-metal proximity sensing (needs no magnet actuator)
  • Bi-polar activation (if using a magnet)
  • Multi-planar orientation (mounting position a non-issue)
  • Lowest cost ferrous proximity sensor available
  • Shock resistance: up to 100 Gs
  • Vibration resistance: 10-15 Gs
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • Gold contacts rated for 30 VDC at 250 mA
  • Robust, all-metal construction
  • Use anywhere to detect magnetic presence or ferrous metals
  • Excellent for security and industrial applications
