Molded switch becomes RoHS compliant

Ideal for use as proximity sensors, electric, water, and gas meters,  flow sensors,  pulse counters,  and level sensors, the CT10-G2 RoHS-compliant style of the CT10 molded switch can withstand process temperatures of up to 260°C.  The CT10 is an encapsulated dry-reed switch that is activated by the presence of a magnetic field and designed for SMD mounting.

At the heart of the CT10 series is a SPST reed switch having normally open ruthenium contacts. The sensor is a double-ended type and may be actuated with an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or a combination of both. The surface-mount switch receives a 100% final parametric test to ensure low and stable contact resistance (
