MK18 Series Reed Sensor

The MK18 Series is a panel-mount reed sensor housed in a 5.0mm diameter cylindrical body, designed for extended cable lengths and flexible installation in industrial, appliance, and security applications. With a wide range of magnetic sensitivities and cable configurations, it’s ideal for position, level, and end-limit sensing, especially where longer reach is required.

The MK18 Series offers extended sensing reach and robust performance in a compact, panel-mount design. It’s a reliable solution for OEMs and engineers working in space-constrained or long-distance sensing environments.
