Magnetic Reed Switch NC NO COM Mount Sensor VictorsHome MC-38 5pcs

Description

Product Overview

The VictorsHome MC-38 magnetic reed switch is engineered for high‑reliability door and window monitoring in residential and commercial security installations. Housed in an ABS flame‑retardant enclosure, the switch resists deformation and high‑temperature environments, ensuring long‑term performance even in harsh conditions. It provides three configurable contact types—normally closed (NC), normally open (NO) and common (COM)—allowing installers to select the most appropriate wiring scheme for their alarm or access‑control system. The compact surface‑mount design measures just 6.3 × 4.72 × 0.59 inches and weighs only 2.4 oz, making it easy to integrate into tight spaces on wooden, aluminum alloy, or PVC frames. With a transmitting distance of 10‑20 mm, the reed switch reacts quickly to magnetic field changes, delivering precise state changes without mechanical wear. Operating voltage ranges from 0 V to 24 V DC, and the load current is limited to 150 mA, fitting the requirements of most low‑voltage alarm circuits. The product ships in a pack of five units, each backed by a durable adhesive paper backing for quick, tool‑free installation.

Usage

This reed switch is ideal for a variety of security and automation scenarios. Homeowners can install it on entry doors, sliding patio doors, and garage doors to detect unauthorized openings, while commercial facilities can use it on fire‑rated doors, server room access points, and secure cabinets. The sensor works seamlessly with standard burglar alarm panels, wireless security hubs, and modern smart‑home platforms that accept NC/NO/COM inputs. Because the device is surface‑mount, it can be placed on interior surfaces of doors or windows without drilling, preserving the integrity of the frame and simplifying retro‑fit projects. The adhesive paper backing ensures a firm bond to metal or wood, yet the switch can also be wired directly using the provided leads for applications that require a more permanent connection. Its low power consumption makes it suitable for battery‑operated alarm systems, and the 0‑24 V DC range aligns with most existing control boards, eliminating the need for additional power conversion.

FAQ

What voltage range can the MC‑38 operate within?

The switch is designed for DC voltages from 0 V up to 24 V, making it compatible with most low‑voltage alarm and access‑control systems.

Can the sensor be used on both metal and wooden doors?

Yes. The adhesive paper backing adheres securely to metal, wood, and PVC surfaces, and the compact design allows mounting on any door material without drilling.

What is the maximum load current the contacts can handle?

Each contact is rated for a maximum load current of 150 mA, which is sufficient for typical alarm circuit loads.

Is the MC‑38 suitable for battery‑powered alarm systems?

Absolutely. Its low power consumption and 0‑24 V DC operating range make it an excellent choice for battery‑operated security panels and wireless alarm modules.

How does the ABS housing improve durability?

ABS is a flame‑retardant polymer that resists high temperatures, impact, and chemical exposure, ensuring the switch continues to function reliably even in demanding environments.
