RUKO KES-FormC-82°-5/16 Reedov spínač, SPDT, závit 5/16-24 UNF, 2m kábel, IP67

For industrial automation engineers and equipment builders who need a compact, threaded proximity sensor with a changeover contact, the RUKO GMBH KES-FormC-82°-5/16 reed switch delivers reliable switching in a nickel-plated brass housing. Its 5/16-24 UNF thread and 82° cable exit make it easy to mount in tight spaces, while the 2-meter flying leads simplify wiring into control panels or PLCs.

Why choose it

The Form C changeover contact provides both normally open and normally closed outputs from a single sensor, reducing component count in limit-switch and position-sensing applications. The rugged IP67-rated housing withstands washdown and dusty environments, while the threaded body allows precise adjustment of sensing distance.

Ideal use cases

• End-of-travel detection on pneumatic cylinders and linear actuators
• Door or guard interlock sensing on machine enclosures
• Level detection in tanks or hoppers where a float magnet actuates the reed
• Security systems requiring tamper-proof magnetic contacts

Good to know

Reed switches are hermetically sealed and offer long life with no solid-state components to wear out. The 82° cable exit reduces strain when mounting in confined areas. Always observe the maximum switching ratings to avoid contact welding.
