59021 Aluminium Miniature Firecracker Reed Sensor + 57020 Actuator
Description
The 59021 Firecracker Reed Sensor is a miniature cylindrical reed sensor with a
robust aluminium body 15.24mm x 5.10mm (0.600” x 0.201”) with a normally
open contact. It is capable of switching up to 170Vdc at 10W. It also has a
variety range of sensitivity, cable length and connector options. It functions best
with the 57020-000 actuator.
Note: The 57020 Actuator is sold separately.
Features
• Two-part magnetically operated
proximity sensor
• Aluminium body

Notes:
1. Contact rating - Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wattage rating. Contact Littelfuse for additional load/life information.
2. When switching inductive and/or capacitive loads, the effects of transient voltages and/or currents should be considered. Refer to Application Notes AN108A and AN107 for details.
3. Breakdown Voltage - per MIL-STD-202, Method 301.
4. Electrical Load Life Expectancy - Contact Littelfuse with voltage, current values along with type of load.
5. This resistance value is for 11.81mm wire length. Resistance changes when wire lengthens.
6. Operate (including bounce)/Release Time - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A, diode suppressed coil (Coil II).
7. Shock and Vibration - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A and MIL-STD-202.
8. For custom modifications to the wire length or size, or adding a special connector, please contact Littelfuse.
