Proximity Switch for UL & CSA Ordinary Location, General Purpose use

This Proximity Switch has a 316L Stainless Steel housing with Normally Open, volt free Palladium-Silver contacts. It has a maximum switching current of 4A and can be used for switching multiple voltages in AC or DC. These switches are able to sense ferrous material, such as carbon steel or stainless steel (17/4 or 400 series), through the end face and are reliable through millions of operations. Optional magnetic targets can be used to further increase sensing range.

    Proximity Switch - Ferrous

    Euroswitch FS Series proximity switches are highly versatile. Utilising internal magnet technology enables them to sense ferrous materials such as carbon steel (17/4 or 400 series) at up to 2.5mm (0.1”). This can be increased with a magnetic actuator. Products are available with either dry contact volt-free SPCO/SPDT, DPCO/DPDT or 2-wire NAMUR output types and can operate within a wide range of voltages up to 240V, either AC or DC.
