530-7903: M18 X M12 Magnetic Proximity Sensor

A Magnetic Proximity Sensor used in an engine digital input card typically operates based on the principle of magneto-resistance. Magneto resistance is the change in the electrical resistance of a material when subjected to an external magnetic field. The sensor consists of resistors with multiple fine ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers. When a magnetic field is present, the resistance of the ferromagnetic material changes, and this change is detected by the sensor. Attributes: • Minimize wear and tear due to their non-contact detection capabilities • Designed to operate effectively across a wide temperature range • Minimize voltage drop across the sensor with 200mA Current Rating Applications: A Magnetic Proximity Sensor is used to provide an efficient method for detecting the position of mechanical parts, such as valves, actuators, or switches.
