A Proximity Switch uses magnets, either in attraction or repulsion, to open or close an electrical circuit. Several types are available to meet the customer’s needs. All are single pole double throw.

Standard Proximity – The switch can be normally open or closed. When a magnet is presented the switch will either open or close the circuit.

Sinking Hall Effect – The sensor is normally closed. When a magnet is present the sensor opens at a very high rate of speed.

Sinking/Sourcing Hall Effect – The switch is normally open and will gradually close as the magnet is brought closer to the switch. This is ideal for lining up two objects.

Latching Hall Effect – The circuit is closed when a South magnet is present and opens when a North magnet is presented.
