MEDER electronic MK24 Reed Sensors are small, magnetically operated reed proximity switches for SMD mounting and are available in three lead designs: flat, straight leads for PCB slot mounting (flat, bend SMD leads; and J-leads). The sensors are supplied in a 16mm tape-and-reel package, according to IEC 286/part 3, suitable for auto-placement. MEDER electronic designed the MK24 for low-power operations, and no external power is required for sensor operation. The series is well suited for PCBs where all components are surface mounted, telecommunication applications (hook switch in mobile and hard-wired phones), switching elements in microphones, medical technologies, and rotary encoders.
