MK7 Series
Cylindrical Reed Sensors
with M8 Thread
MEDER electronic
DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
•
Position and limit switch
Pneumatic or hydraulic actuator position
Indication and end travel limit switch
•
Door and window contacts
Security system applications
•
Level sensor
Use with magnetic floats for water level
detection in coffee makers, washing
machines or dishwashers
MK7 sensors are magnetically operated Reed
proximity switches in a cylindrical form with an 8
mm x 0.75 thread and connecting cable or coupler.
The sensor can be screwed directly onto a fixed
surface with the actuating magnet on the moving
surface. The widespread termination “T” or “U” makes
the MK7 series compatible with several inductive and
magnetic proximity sensors.
