A latching reed sensor is an extremely low power solution. These work very well in battery powered devices and other power critical applications. Latching or bi-stable sensors use magnetic biasing to open and close their contacts. The sensor contains one or more internal reed switches and/or permanent magnets. The internal permanent magnet moves the reed switch contacts closer together. But still the contacts remain in the open state. Because the magnet is only partially magnetized. While an external magnet opens and closes the switch by reversing the magnetic field. Hence the latching function. The contacts remain in their normally open or closed state until the magnetic field is changes yet again. The latching function can get tricky! So you'll need work with our latching sensor experts. They'll design a solution according to your specific application. Learn more...
MK21PR Series Reed Sensor is an economical right-side cable exit sensor that is screw mounted to the application. The right-side cable exit design suits applications where space does not allow for our standard left-side cable exit MK21 sensor. The flat PVC wires exit the right side of the rectangular housing and come in various standard and custom cable lengths as well as termination options. The MK21PR sensor series is used in position, proximity, motion, level, and end limit sensing. Other options include various internal switch configurations.
