Magnetic Proximity Sensors (Reed)

MP2017 Sensors

Reed based magnetic proximity sensor

encapsulated in smooth plastic barrel

Description

The MP2 Series sensors are reed proximity sensors. Normally open or closed contacts change states when a magnetic field is

applied. The sensors act as non-latching electrical switches.
