Cherry Offers Low-Profile Magnetic Proximity Sensors For Tight Spaces
Pleasant Prairie, WI -- Cherry Electrical Products' new MP1014 Series Hall effect magnetic proximity sensors provide solid-state sensing in a 3.3mm-high package, making them ideal for space-limited applications. The sensors' low cost and virtually unlimited life also benefit applications such as flow sensing, cylinder position sensing, and door interlock sensing.
Whereas typical magnetic proximity sensors are encapsulated in a rigid epoxy, Cherry uses a low-pressure injection molding process to encapsulate the MP1014 Series in a high-performance polyamide. This imparts lower stress on the encapsulated electronics at temperature extremes and allows for sensors with small, tightly controlled geometries.
The MP1014 Series package dimensions are 17.3mm L x 21.8mm W x 3.3mm H. Standard termination is 12-inch, 24 AWG PVC leads. Distance between the centerline of the mounting holes is 16.5mm.
These sensors provide a 3-wire sinking output. They operate with standard supply voltages of 4.75VDC to 24VDC, and they offer reverse-battery protection to -15VDC. Standard operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and the housing and encapsulating materials carry UL94 V-0 ratings.
Both latching and switching versions are available. Latching versions have a typical operate point of 71 gauss (south pole) and a typical release point of 71 gauss (north pole). Switching versions have a typical operate point of 166 gauss (south pole) and a typical release point of 148 gauss (south pole).
