Magnetic Reed Switch AOAUTO NC Waterproof 10W 100V 0.5A Dual Pack

Description

Product Overview

The AOAUTO Magnetic Reed Switch, model GPS-23B, is engineered as a high‑reliability, normally closed (NC) sensor designed for a wide range of low‑voltage applications. Constructed from a robust stainless‑steel reed element sealed within a clear, waterproof housing, the switch can endure harsh environmental conditions while maintaining consistent performance. With a rated power of 10 W, a maximum voltage of 100 V, and a current capacity of 0.5 A, it fits seamlessly into alarm circuits, LED lighting, relay control, and GPS‑related low‑voltage devices. The compact dimensions of 23 × 14 × 6 mm and a 3 mm mounting hole make it easy to integrate into tight spaces, and the included eight screws and four strong‑pad mounts ensure a secure installation. The device operates with a magnetic transmission distance of 16‑23 mm, providing a reliable trigger distance for door and window security applications.

Usage

Designed for both residential and industrial environments, this reed switch excels in scenarios where a discreet, non‑intrusive sensor is required. Typical use cases include securing entry points such as doors and windows, monitoring cabinet doors in data centers, and integrating into custom alarm panels for home automation. Its waterproof rating allows installation in damp locations like basements, garages, and outdoor enclosures without fear of corrosion or failure. The NC configuration ensures that the circuit remains closed until a magnetic field is introduced, making it ideal for safety‑critical systems that must default to an active state. Whether paired with LED indicators, relay modules, or microcontroller boards powered by 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V DC, the switch delivers consistent performance and easy interfacing.

FAQ

What does “normally closed” mean for this reed switch?

Normally closed (NC) indicates that the internal contacts are connected when no magnetic field is present. When a magnet approaches within the specified distance, the contacts open, allowing the circuit to detect the change.

Can this switch be used with a 24 V DC power supply?

Yes, the switch is rated for up to 100 V and 0.5 A, making it compatible with 24 V DC systems commonly found in industrial control panels and automation projects.

Is the switch suitable for outdoor installations?

Absolutely. The waterproof enclosure protects the internal reed from rain, humidity, and dust, allowing reliable operation in outdoor or damp environments.

How many switches are included in the package?

The package contains two magnetic reed switches, eight mounting screws, and four strong‑pad mounting pieces, providing everything needed for a complete installation.

What is the recommended mounting method?

Mount the switch on a non‑magnetic surface using the provided screws and pads. Ensure the magnet is positioned within the 16‑23 mm range for optimal performance.
