These switches actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. They’re often used to detect when a door or window opens. Mount the switch in a stationary position, such as a door frame, and mount the magnet to a movable object, such as the door. They do not include a safety relay and cannot be used with safety-guard doors found on machinery.
NEMA 4X rated switches are protected from corrosion and washdowns. These switches are also rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion.

Wire contacts to an alarm system to alert when doors or windows are opened. Mount the magnet to the door or window and mount the switch to the frame. The alarm will activate when the magnet is pulled away by the opening door or window.
SPDT switches connect to an alarm system and to another device, such as a motion detector.

Prevent unauthorized use—these switches require coded magnets (sold separately) to actuate, and cannot be bypassed using ordinary magnets. They actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. Mount the switch in a stationary position, such as a door frame, and mount the magnet to a movable object, such as the door. They’re often used to detect when a door or window opens, and can be used with movable machine guards. All are rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion.
Coded magnets include tamper-resistant one-way screws for mounting. To remove screws, see one-way bits and drivers.
Safety relays are required in safety applications with switches that control two or three circuits.

Circuit Board Magnetically Actuated Switches
Mounted to your circuit board, these switches trigger when magnetic components get near, and reset as they move away. They’re often used to turn on electronics, such as starting up a laptop when you open it. To install, push the contacts through holes in a circuit board, then solder them in place.
Switches with a plastic housing withstand impact better than switches with a glass housing. The plastic also forms an airtight seal to block out contaminants. Use them in dusty or dirty environments where an optical switch might fail.

These switches detect magnetic objects—or objects with a magnet attached—through non-magnetic walls. They’re often used to count magnetic items on a conveyor belt that are too far for other proximity switches to detect and in food plants to track cleaners through stainless steel pipe. Producing a PNP signal output, these switches are commonly used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Resistant to dust, heat, and vibration, switches will stand up to harsh environments. Magnets are sold separately.
Maximum sensing distance in the table below represents switches used with the magnet shown. Sensing distance will vary depending on the magnetic strength of the object your switch is detecting.

Circuit Board DC Magnetic-Object Proximity Switches

Send signals in response to changing magnetic fields to trigger processes or monitor position, speed, and current. These switches communicate with devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers. They’re also known as hall effect sensors. To install, push their contacts through holes in a circuit board, then solder them in place.
Maintained switches change their output signal based on the polarity of a magnetic field. They’re often used to monitor movement, such as tracking the speed and position of a shaft. These switches output a high-voltage signal when they detect a north pole, and a low-voltage signal for a south pole. When the magnetic field is removed, they maintain the same output signal.
Momentary switches change their output signal based on whether a magnetic field is present. They’re often used to trigger a process in response to changing magnetic fields, such as turning on a light when a door opens. When they detect a north or south pole, they output a low-voltage signal. When they don’t detect a magnetic field at all, they output a high-voltage signal.
