MDSM-4 Series - 15.3mm Surface Mount Reed Switch

DataSheet:Littelfuse Reed Switches MDSM-4 datasheet

A sub-miniature, surface mount, normally open switch with a 15.24mm long x 2.28mm diameter (0.600" x 0.090") glass envelope. Capable of switching 200Vdc at 10W. Available sensitivity range of 12-38 AT. High insulation resistance of 1010 ohms minimum and contact resistance of less than 100 milliohms. Available in axial-leaded version (MDCG-4). Ideally suited for reed relays, security, metering, limit sensing, telecom and office equipment applications. Available in bulk packaging or tape and reel.

Features:

  • Surface mount, normally open switch capable of switching 200Vdc or 0.5A at up to 10 Watts
  • Available sensitivity range of 12-38 AT

Benefits:

  • Hermetically sealed switch contacts are not affected by and have no effect on their external environment
  • Zero operating power required for contact closure
  • Excellent for switching micro-controller logic level loads

Applications:

  • Position sensing
  • Level sensing
  • Security
  • Industrial controls
  • Telecom
  • Office equipment
  • Home appliances
