Unlike general-purpose electrical reed switches, the 1L-MSR-105T is developed for fixed installations where stable alignment, controlled operating gaps, and long-term performance are required. This makes it an ideal solution for professional installations handled by system integrators, panel builders, and sensor-based automation designers.
Compact 3/8" Diameter with Terminal Connector
One of the defining features of the 1L-MSR-105T is its 3/8″ diameter cylindrical body, which allows it to be easily recessed into pre-drilled mounting holes. The built-in terminal connector eliminates the need for soldered or crimped cable joints, reducing installation time and minimizing the chances of connection failure. This design directly improves system reliability, especially in environments where vibration, moisture, or maintenance access is limited.
Because there are no external cable joints, the electrical reed switch maintains a consistent signal path, ensuring stable performance throughout its service life.
Easy and Quick Installation for Professional Applications
The recessed mount magnetic switch design of the 1L-MSR-105T allows installers to achieve a flush, professional finish. Once installed, the switch remains firmly seated within the mounting surface, protecting it from accidental impact or tampering. This ease of installation is particularly valuable in large-scale projects such as shipbuilding, architectural structures, and industrial enclosures, where installation efficiency and repeatability are essential.
The short overall length of the switch further simplifies mounting in confined spaces where longer sensors may not fit.
Compatible with Solid or Stranded 22 AWG Wire
The 1L-MSR-105T supports both solid and stranded 22 AWG wire, offering flexibility during wiring and system integration. This compatibility allows the switch to be easily integrated into control panels, junction boxes, and automation circuits without requiring special adapters or customized wiring solutions. For sensor manufacturers and automation engineers, this flexibility reduces design constraints while maintaining electrical stability.
Controlled Operating Gap for Accurate Switching
This magnetic reed switch operates with a minimum operating gap of 5/8″ (16 mm), ensuring reliable actuation only when the paired magnet is correctly positioned. This controlled operating distance is critical in applications where precise alignment is required to avoid false triggering or missed signals. The defined operating gap makes the 1L-MSR-105T suitable for fixed-position sensing applications rather than dynamic consumer electronics.
Switching Voltage (Max.) 200 VDC – Why This Matters
The maximum switching voltage of 200 VDC for the 1L-MSR-105T is intentionally specified to balance electrical safety, contact longevity, and stable switching performance. Higher switching voltages can lead to contact arcing inside the reed capsule, which may reduce the operational life of the switch. By limiting the switching voltage to 200 VDC, 1 LEAP Technologies, as a trusted Reed Sensor Manufacturer, ensures that the internal reed contacts remain protected, delivering consistent performance over extended operating cycles.
This voltage rating makes the switch ideal for control circuits, sensing lines, and low-to-medium voltage automation systems, where signal reliability is more important than high power switching.
Applications of 1L-MSR-105T Recessed Mount Magnetic Switch
The 1L-MSR-105T is designed for specific industrial and structural applications where recessed mounting and high reliability are required. It is not intended for compact consumer electronics such as laptops, but excels in the following sectors:
