Magnets

Description

Our analog magnet sensors and our magnetic switches detect the approach of a magnet.
There are many different types of magnet, varying in size, shape, material, range...

After testing and validating them with our sensors, we've come up with a small selection. They are silver coloured and shiny.

By default, our analog magnet sensor is supplied with an 8 mm diameter, 1.8 mm thick round magnet.

By default, our magnetic switch is supplied with an 5 mm diameter, 1.8 mm thick round magnet.

Shapes, sizes and ranges

Our tests were made with a Magnet sensor set on its highest sensitivity. The greatest detection distance that we retained corresponds to the sensor's minimal reaction.
