The part number **10RS-5E-R0-R/BL** typically refers to a high-performance **Magnetic Proximity Sensor** or a **Reed Switch Assembly**, often used in industrial automation for cylinder position sensing. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic characteristics. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Magnetic Reed Switch (2-Wire) | | **Operating Voltage** | 5V to 240V AC/DC | | **Switching Capacity** | 10W Max | | **Switching Current** | 100mA Max | | **Contact Resistance** | 0.2 $\Omega$ Max | | **Response Time** | Max 1.0 ms | | **Operating Temperature** | -10°C to +70°C | | **Indicator** | Red LED (signified by "R" in code) | | **Protection Rating** | IP67 (Water/Dust resistant) | --- ### 2. Part Number Nomenclature The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the construction: * **10RS**: Series designation (often compatible with tie-rod or profile cylinders). * **5E**: Lead wire length (Standard 5 meters or specific jacket material). * **R0**: Specific mounting bracket or sensor sensitivity rating. * **R**: Built-in **LED Indicator** (Red). * **BL**: Wire color/type or specific Blue-label variant for European/International standards. --- ### 3. Electronic Operation The device functions as a **Normally Open (NO)** contact. 1. **Magnetic Trigger**: When a magnetic piston inside a pneumatic cylinder moves close to the sensor, the internal reed blades pull together. 2. **Circuit Completion**: The circuit closes, allowing current to flow to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or relay. 3. **Visual Feedback**: The integrated LED illuminates when the contact is closed, assisting in troubleshooting and alignment. ### 4. Wiring Diagram (2-Wire System) Since this is a standard 2-wire reed switch, it is wired in series with the load. ```markdown [Power +] ---- (Brown Wire) ---- [Sensor] ---- (Blue Wire) ---- [Load/PLC Input] ---- [Power -] ``` > **Warning:** Always ensure a load is present in the circuit. Connecting a 2-wire reed switch directly across a power supply without a load will cause immediate component failure. ---
