Littelfuse 59010 Sub-Miniature Firecracker Sensors

Littelfuse 59010 Sub-Miniature Firecracker Sensors are sub-miniature cylindrical reed sensors with a 3mm diameter and 9mm length and normally open contact. These magnetically operated proximity sensors are capable of switching up to 170VDC at 10W. Their compact size requires only a 3mm diameter hole. They offer hermetically sealed contacts and easy installation. Littelfuse 59010 Sub-Miniature Firecracker Sensors are ideal for battery-powered applications because the contacts do not draw power in a nonactivated state. Typical applications include position and limit sensing, security system switches, level sensing, and linear actuators. The 57022 actuator is sold separately.

Features

  • 9mm length x 3mm diameter
  • Capable of switching up to 170VDC at 10W
  • Magnetically operated proximity sensors
  • Compact size requires only 3mm diameter hole
  • Hermetically sealed contacts
  • Well suited for usage in high moisture and contaminated environments
  • Simple installation and adjustment
  • Non-contact solution, aesthetically more appealing than push-button or lever mechanical-type switches
