Littelfuse , a global leader in circuit protection, today announced the introduction of the MACD-14 and MASM-14 series of high precision products to expand its reed switch portfolio. ( MASM-14 is a surface mount model for the MACD-14 .) These reed switches feature near-neighbor relays to serve space-constrained and demanding customer applications. In addition, the MACD-14 and MASM-14 series bring greater layout and design flexibility to circuit designers. "The short-range relay characteristics of the MACD-14 and MASM-14 series allow us to serve a new market segment that requires high-precision sensing at competitive prices," said Gwenn Gmeinder, Business Development Manager at Littelfuse . "These switches are ideal for horizontal and proximity sensing in pumps, brake fluid reservoirs, windshield washer fluids and small appliance applications." The MACD-14 and MASM-14 offer the following key features and benefits: • Through-hole surface mount and custom form factor for layout and design flexibility ? Airtight switch contacts are not affected by harsh environments • Near-differential relay characteristics (low-off/on-delay) enable precise switching for applications with limited space 200 Vdc switching capability up to 10 watts in a compact package for high load switching capability and flexibility • Sensitivity range of 10-30 AT, maintaining high accuracy performance under all operating conditions. "As design space and components continue to shrink, many of our customers face the challenge of using magnets to activate and deactivate the reed switches or sensors with extremely limited operating space," adds Gmeinder. "The short-range relay characteristics of the MACD-14 and MASM-14 series allow customers to achieve even greater results with less space and lower budgets." Availability The MACD-14 Reed Switch and the MASM-14 Surface Mount Reed Switch are available in three different models with a minimum order quantity of 250. MASM-14 is also available in tape and reel packaging. Samples are available from authorized Littelfuse distributors around the world.
