Contact configurations are available.
The 1L-MSM-111 is provided in multiple contact options to fit different operational needs. The normally open reed switch version remains open in the absence of a magnetic field and closes when the magnet comes within the specified operating range. The Normally Closed version reacts oppositely, remaining closed until the magnet is removed. For applications requiring both outputs, the NO/NC (changeover) configuration provides greater flexibility in control and monitoring systems.
These configuration options make the 1L-MSM-111 Magnetic Switch suitable for a huge range of professional installations where accurate switching reaction is important.
Design and Build Quality Of 1L-MSM-111
The 1L-MSM-111 Surface Mount Magnetic Reed Switch is made with durability and solidity as core design priorities.
