Littelfuse's latest product is the 59022 series firecracker reed sensor, a compact cylindrical magnetically operated sensor capable of switching to 265VAC / 300VDC at 10W / VA.
With a diameter of only 5.8 mm, the new sensor can be easily installed in the narrow spaces of existing structures. It is designed to be used with a matching 57022 actuator, which is sold separately. Circuit designers have the flexibility to choose between normally open, normally closed or switching contacts.
Typical applications include: 1-Position / Limit Sensing of Door Closures in Home Appliances, Smart Home Automation Systems, Security Systems, Metering and Industrial Equipment. 2-Liquid level sensing for detecting liquid levels in coffee machines, washing machines and dishwashers. 3-Speed ??and distance measurement / sensing found in fitness equipment such as treadmills and stationary bikes. 4-Linear actuator.
"This new reed sensor expands our design product range and provides a popular form factor sensing solution that is easy to install and easy to install," said Will Li, global product manager for the 59022 series product line. "It also offers a variety of cable lengths, connectors, and sensitivity options, making it easy to adapt to many different applications."
Key benefits: 1 – The device's 25.4 mm x 5.8 mm form factor is easy to install in tight, narrow spaces. 2-Because it is a magnetic proximity sensor, installation is simple. 3-The device's sealed contacts are ideal for use in high humidity and high pollution environments. 4-Because it can operate through non-ferrous metals (such as wood, plastic or aluminum), it provides a non-contact solution that is more aesthetically appealing than push-button or lever-type mechanical switches. 5-Provides normally open, normally closed and changeover contact options, which makes it ideal for battery-powered applications because the contacts do not consume power in the inactive state. 6-Ideal for switching microcontroller logic level loads.
