Littelfuse releases the 59001 reed sensor ideal for small and large appliances, security/access control, and factory automation
Littelfuse releases its latest innovative product, the 59001 Reed Sensor – a miniature D-shaped cylindrical reed sensor that offers a combination of compact size, high performance, and customization options, making it an ideal choice for various industrial, appliances, and IoT proximity sensing applications.
The key differentiator of the 59001 Reed Sensor lies in its compact size, measuring just 13.5 mm x 5.0 mm x 4.6 mm (0.591″ x 0.197″ x 0.181″). Its small form factor allows for significant space savings, making it ideal for applications where size constraints are a concern. Additionally, its D-shape provides a “poka-yoke” mechanism that simplifies installation, ensuring proper orientation of the sensor in the assembly.
Its non-contact switching solution makes it particularly suitable for wet and harsh environments, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging conditions.
“We are excited to introduce the 59001 Reed Sensor to our customers,” said Julius Venckus, Global Product Manager at Littelfuse. “By understanding the design challenges and constraints of various size-limited applications, we have developed a shape-oriented and smaller-size reed sensor that addresses these specific requirements. This new addition to our reed sensors further enables us to provide the most comprehensive portfolio of magnetic sensing solutions to meet our customers’ needs.”
