Through use of magnetic activation technology, the MP series reed sensors are operable without the use of electrical power. The omnipolar devices can be activated from either a north or south pole magnet, which can approach the sensor from virtually any angle.
Hermetically-sealed to achieve long life and resistant to moisture and dirt, the MP Series is available in three different package styles: the MP2007 features a cylindrical threaded black anodized aluminum housing measuring 1" long and having external 15/32 - 32 TPI threads; the MP2017 has a cylindrical, 30% glass-filled polyester housing measuring 1" long x 0.243" in diameter; and the MP2018 has a rectangular, flange-mount, 30% glass-filled polyester housing with a total footprint of 0.906" x 0.55". The devices are suitable for use in a variety of commercial and consumer products. And typical pricing ranges from $1.40 to $5.00 each/5,000.
