Enhance your home or commercial security system with our Wired Surface Mount Magnetic Contact Switch. This essential security component, commonly known as a reed switch, is designed to monitor the status of doors, windows, and drawers. When the magnetic field is broken by opening the entry point, the switch triggers your alarm panel or automation system instantly.
Simple Surface Mount Design: Features an easy-to-install low-profile housing that mounts directly to frames and moving panels without the need for deep drilling.
Secure Screw Terminals: Equipped with accessible screw-down connection points, ensuring a stable and permanent wire link to your security circuit.
Durable ABS Construction: Encased in a high-quality, flame-retardant white ABS polymer that blends seamlessly with standard white door and window frames.
Reliable Reed Technology: Utilizes a high-sensitivity magnetic reed switch for consistent performance over thousands of open/close cycles.
Versatile Application: Perfect for security alarms, smart home entry notifications, or automated lighting triggers in closets and cabinets.
Clean Aesthetics: The sleek white finish and compact footprint provide a professional, unobtrusive look for any interior environment.
Hardwired Reliability: Unlike wireless sensors, this wired contact never requires battery changes and is immune to RF interference.
Universal Compatibility: Works with virtually all standard security alarm panels and low-voltage monitoring systems.
Switch Type: Magnetic Reed (Normally Closed/Normally Open variants).
Material: High-Impact ABS Plastic.
Connection: Two Screw Terminals.
Color: Classic White.
Is this switch "Normally Open" or "Normally Closed"?
Standard magnetic contacts are typically "Normally Closed" (NC) when the magnet is near the switch (door closed). Please verify your alarm panel requirements before installation.
Can I install this on a metal door?
While possible, mounting directly onto ferrous metal can interfere with the magnetic field. Using a small spacer is recommended for best results on steel frames.
How far apart can the magnet and switch be?
For reliable operation, the gap between the switch and the magnet should generally stay within 15mm to 20mm when the door is closed.
