3/8″ (9mm) dia. Stubby with Ring Magnet & Wire Leads
Key Features
- 3/8″ Dia Pressfit Switch with 18″ Long Wire Leads
- Easy & Time Saving Installation
- Epoxy Coated Magnet to protect from corrosion Chipping
- Operating Gap 5/8″ (16mm) min.

The recessed configuration allows the switch body to be installed fully inside a drilled cavity, ensuring that it remains flush with the mounting surface. This design not only enhances the visual appearance of the installation but also protects the electronic reed switch from accidental impact, external stress, and environmental exposure. The 1L-MSR-104PF is not a general-purpose sensor; it is designed exclusively for recessed mounting environments where durability and stable performance are required.

Recessed Press-Fit Construction
The 1L-MSR-104PF magnetic switch sensor features a 3/8 inch diameter press-fit body, enabling quick and secure installation without the need for screws, brackets, or surface fixtures. Once inserted into the pre-drilled hole, the switch holds firmly in place, reducing movement and minimizing installation time. This press-fit recessed design is especially valuable in projects where multiple sensors must be installed efficiently while maintaining consistent alignment.
Because the switch is fully recessed, it remains protected from mechanical wear and accidental contact, making it suitable for long-term use in structural and industrial environments.
Wiring Flexibility with 18-Inch Leads
To support flexible installation, the 1L-MSR-104PF electronic reed switch is supplied with 18-inch long wire leads. These extended leads allow installers to route wiring easily through panels, doors, and enclosures without strain or additional extensions. This is particularly beneficial in recessed installations where access to the wiring point may be limited after mounting. The longer lead length improves installation efficiency and helps maintain secure electrical connections over time.
Epoxy Coated Magnet Protection
The magnet paired with the 1L-MSR-104PF recessed reed switch is epoxy coated, providing enhanced resistance against corrosion, moisture exposure, and surface damage. This protective coating ensures that the magnet maintains consistent magnetic strength and reliable actuation throughout its service life.
The epoxy coating also helps prevent chipping during installation and regular operation, contributing to stable and repeatable performance in demanding environments.
Operating Gap and Switching Performance
The 1L-MSR-104PF magnetic reed switch operates with a minimum operating gap of 5/8 inch (16 mm). This operating distance allows dependable switching while accommodating practical installation tolerances. The defined gap ensures that the sensor responds consistently to the magnetic field without false triggering, even when slight misalignment occurs during mounting.
This performance characteristic makes the 1L-MSR-104PF recessed mount magnetic switch suitable for applications requiring reliable detection over repeated cycles.
Application Areas for 1L-MSR-104PF
The 1L-MSR-104PF magnetic switch sensor is designed for specific application environments where recessed installation and durability are essential. In shipbuilding, this model is used for monitoring access panels, service hatches, and internal compartments where sensors must remain protected and unobtrusive. The epoxy-coated magnet supports reliable operation in controlled marine environments.
In architectural applications, the recessed design allows the sensor to be completely hidden within doors, frames, and panels, preserving clean aesthetics while providing dependable magnetic switching. The 1L-MSR-104PF electronic reed switch is also widely used in industrial cabinets and equipment enclosures where surface-mounted sensors could be exposed to damage.
