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.
