Magnetically Activated Switches

Model MAS-151, MAS-147

Reed-switch based magnetically activated switches for glass spheres and end caps, used to turn systems on or off before deployment.

Description

Magnetically Activated Switches use a neodymium magnet in a bright orange screw-on cap to turn a system on or off before deployment or after recovery. A normally open-common-normally closed (SPDT) reed switch is housed inside the switch body; the cap is removed before deployment.

Key features

  • MAS-151 (Glass Spheres): Titanium 6-4 body, tested to 10,000 psi with certification
  • MAS-147 (End Caps): bodies in Delrin, 6061-T6 aluminum and Titanium 6-4; aluminum and titanium tested to 10,000 psi, Delrin to 3,000 psi; for flat end caps or polyamide spheres
  • Contacts rated for 5 Watts DC; higher current loads require a MOSFET, solid state relay or relay
