® ® Solutions Seeking Problems. MAGNASPHERE N-Series The original Magnasphere switch design. Robust all metal construction is highly resistant to magnetic tamper and defeat, and permanent contact welding from power surges. Can also be used as a close tolerance ferrous metal proximity sensor (no magnet actuator required). CONTACT CHARACTERISTICS Contact Form: A (Normally Open-N.O.) .095” Contact Material: Gold/Gold X & Y Axis Mode Initial Contact Resistance (Typical): < 150 Milli Ohms Z Axis Mode Contact Capacitance: < 1 pf Contact Ratings: 30 VDC @ 250 ma Contact Bounce* (Typical): < 10 .440” ref .320” ref milliseconds*. Recommended trial .020” de-bounce - 15 milliseconds (min.) closed contact condition for logic state .021” changes - or 30 Hz low pass filter buffer Minimum Breakdown Voltage (Typical): .244” ref (bias ring) 300 VDC Insulation Resistance (Typical): .175” ref .200” ref > 5 Mega Ohms OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS Operate/Release Values: See Switching Characteristics Table Actuation Magnet Orientation: N-SERIES: Either Pole Maximum Operating Frequency: 20 Hz MG-A2-1.5-N General Sense Zone Mounting Position: Any Plane MG-A2-3.0-N Operating Temperature: -40°C to +150°C MG-A2-5.0-N Shock (Switch Damage): > 100 G’s Vibration: 10-15 G’s (80-450 Hz) (Higher Values Available) GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS & INFORMATION Construction: Non-Ferrous Metal Housing, life gain may be realized by center pin use the support of some type of parallel Compression Seal Hermetically Sealed, as cathode on logic loads, but center jaws spaced away from the glass seal to Protective Gas Atmosphere, Precious pin as anode on larger loads. grip the lead wire pins while bending Metal Plated Spherical Magnet Contact. the pins’ free ends, so no bending Lead Wire Cutting / Bending Guidelines: strains are imposed on the glass seal. Soldering Guidelines: 600º F (315º C) Cut length has no effect on magnetic Temperature iron for 5 sec. (max.). Do OP/REL values. Shearing action type Other Comments: Ferromagnetic mate- not solder within 1/8” (3 mm) of glass cutters are recommended, but end nippers rials and strong Electromagnetic devices seal. Lead pins precious metal plated and side cutters are NOT recommended. proximate to the switch or its actuator for enhanced solderability. Metal style seals are extraordinarily magnet may adversely affect expected rugged, but the bending of unsupported OP/REL switching values. Experimen- Termination Polarity Guidelines: Polarity lead wire pins adjacent to the glass seal tation is recommended to investigate selection is non-critical, though some is not recommended (i.e. when bending areas of concern.
