MK6 sensors are magnetically operated Reed

proximity switches for direct PCB mounting. The

sensor should be mounted on a fixed surface with

the actuating magnet on the moving surface.

Introduction or removal of the magnetic field

determines the closing and opening of the Reed

Switch. (2.54 mm PCB pin spacing, available with

different distances)

APPLICATIONS

• Telecommunications

Telephone hook switch, keyboard applications

• Domestic appliances

Door switch for washing machines, dishwashers,

microwave ovens, baking ovens, refrigerators

• Limit switch for low-power signals

Garage door controls, lever hoists, conveyors

• Lifts / elevators

Position indicators

MK6 Series MEDER electronic Reed Sensors for PCB Mounting DIMENSIONS All dimensions in mm [inches] * MK6-10-E is a magnetic latching sensor which is opened or closed by a passing magnet and remains in that state until a magnet of opposite polarity or direction passes by again. The E refers to a latching sensor and does not represent the magnetic sensitivity. MK6-10-B is a normally closed sensor. The B refers to a latching sensor and does not represent the magnetic sensitivity. www.meder.
