- OPERATING DISTANCE/ALIGNMENT: Operate (pull-in or make) points are nominal values with ± 10% tolerance. Release points are 110% to 150% of the operating points.
- MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL LIFE: 10 million operations.
- PACKAGING: Bulk packaging, 10 switch and magnet pairs per package.
Materials
- HOUSING/SPACER/COVER: ABS plastic (UL94V-0), white.
- REED SWITCH: Rhodium coated reed contacts in hermetically sealed, nitrogen filled glass capsule. Closed when magnet is in close proximity. Used in closed loop circuits.
- WIRE LEADS: UL 1061, 22 AWG wire: stranded, made of copper or aluminum; Length: 12 in. with ends stripped; Color: white.
- POTTING (around wires): Epoxy.
- MAGNETS: Alnico V (all models, except MPS80WG) and Ceramic Ferrite 8 (MPS80WG model only).
- ADHESIVE MOUNTING: Foam-backed, pressure-sensitive adhesive with release liner (MPS45WGW model only).
