MK23-87 Series Surface Mount Reed Switch
The MK23-87 Series is a bare glass surface-mount (SMD) reed sensor designed for compact, high-speed switching in automated electronic assemblies. With a 19.6mm glass body and 2.2mm diameter, it offers a cost-effective alternative to over-molded sensors and is ideal for on/off control, position, motion, and proximity detection in space-constrained environments.
The MK23-87 Series delivers fast, reliable magnetic sensing in a compact, high-performance format, making it a trusted solution for OEMs and engineers designing in automated, space-limited, or low-power environments.
