MK03 Series
Cylindrical
Reed Sensors
MEDER electronic
DESCRIPTION
MK03 sensors are magnetically operated Reed
proximity switches in a cylindrical case with an
interconnect cable. The sensor should be mounted
on a fixed surface with the actuating magnet on
the moving surface. Introduction or removal of the
magnetic field determines the closing and opening
of the Reed Switch.
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
FEATURES
High power switches available
Other cables, connectors and colors available
Various case sizes available
Five operate sensitivities available
A choice of cable terminations and lengths are
available
