installment shall entitle Buyer to cancel that installment only.

d.) Should delivery of all or part of the Products specified herein (or any other obligation of Seller) be delayed 

by events beyond Seller’s control, Seller’s time for performance shall be extended by the period of delay,

Principles of Operation for Magnetic Proximity Switches

Reed / Electronic Switch Working Principle

Sinking (NPN) vs. Sourcing (PNP)

Our reed switch sensors contain hermetically sealed reed elements (mechanical contacts) which can be open or closed in 

their normal state depending on the version selected.  When a magnetic field moves within proximity of the switch, magnetism 

is induced into the leads and forces the contacts to change state (open if normally closed or closed if normally open).  Typically 

used with air cylinders that are built with internal magnetic pistons.

Electronic switches are available in Sinking or Sourcing versions.  The basic difference between these two ways of solid state 

switching is as follows:

The Sourcing method connects or switches one side of the load to the positive (+) side of the supply.  The negative (-) side is 

connected directly to the other side of the load as shown in figure 1.  PNP is the acronym used to describe the transistor that 

performs this type of switching in a solid state sensor.

The Sinking method connects or switches one side of the load to the negative (-) side of the supply.  The positive (+) side is 

connected directly to the other side of the load as shown in figure 2.  NPN is the acronym used to describe the transistor that 

performs this type of switching in a solid state sensor.

Which type of sensor should I use?  

Reed

 or 

Electronic

?

The type of sensor that is  best for a particular application depends on the operating parameters and cost related issues.  

Canfield Connector is proud to offer the industry's best value in Reed and Electronic Sensors.  However if our sensors are mis-

applied, they could fail prematurely.  Therefore, give careful consideration when selecting the proper proximity sensor for your 

application.  We have prepared this catalog with all the necessary information in order to aid in this decision.  If you require 

more assistance or have any questions, please feel free to call.  Our customer service and engineering staff will be happy to 

assist you.

Reed Switch Sensors:

If initial cost and versatility are most important, then reed switch sensors should be considered.  For example the 7000 Series 

Type 04 reed switch will operate from 5 to 240 volts AC or DC.  Generally, one switch can be stocked to cover a large majority 

of common applications.  Please note, reed sensors do to work well with inrush surge currents and transients (common to in-

ductive & capacitive loads; i.e. relays, coils & long wire runs).  If inrush surge currents and transients must be accommodated, 

switch Types 21 - 29 may be specified.  These parameters should be given careful consideration when selecting a proximity 

device that will be best suited for an application.

Electronic Sensors:

In general, if longevity is a major concern, electronic sensors should be used whenever they fit within the operating parameters 

specified for a given application.  They should receive special attention when high cycle rates are required.  If electronic sen-

sors are used within their operating range they will always outperform and out last mechanical reed sensors.  The initial added 

cost associated with a electronic sensor will be outweighed should the application require high cycle rates.

Note: Arrows indicate movement of magnet in relation to switch surface.

Proximity Sensor Types

Reed Switch Sensors:

 

 

   

Type 01 & 05 -

These two sensors are the most basic types.  They are made up of a reed element only.  The Type 01 is single pole, single 

throw, normally open and the Type 05 is single pole, single throw, normally closed.  These sensors act as an in line switch 

which is actuated in a magnetic field, with no minimum current requirement.

 

Features:  • Lowest cost 

• AC or DC operation 

• High power capacity 

 

  • Non polarity dependent 

• Zero leakage current 

• Nema 6 versions available 

 

 

  • CSA versions available

 

   Type 02 and 04 & 09 -

The Type 02 is current limiting and is  single pole, single throw, normally open. The Type 04 is single pole, single throw, nor-

mally open and Type 09 is single pole, single throw, normally closed.  They act as an in line switch which is actuated in a 

magnetic field.  These sensors also include an LED indicator and surge suppression.  Surge suppression helps to extend the 

life of the sensor when it is used to switch higher current loads and / or inductive loads.  The Type 04 & 09 are similar to the 

Type 01 & 05, in that they perform the same function.

 

Features:  • Lowest cost 

• AC or DC operation 

• High power capacity

 

  • Polarity protection 

• Zero leakage current 

• Nema 6 versions available 

 

 

  • CSA versions available 

• LED indicator 

 

   Type 06 - 

This sensor is a reed type sensor which uses a single pole, double throw element.  This enables the switching of two separate 

loads.  One side of the switch is normally closed and the other is normally open.  This sensor also included an LED indicator 

which is connected to the normally open side of the switch.  The LED indicator operates when the normally open side is closed 

with a minimum 5mA current flowing through the switch and a typical 3 volt drop.

 

Features:  • AC or DC operation 

• Zero leakage current 

• LED indicator on normally open   

 

  • High power capacity 

• CSA versions available 

• Nema 6 versions available

   Type 21 & 25 and 23, 24 & 29 -

These sensors are designed specifically to switch high power AC loads (including inductive loads) and loads with high tran-

sient or inrush currents, although they are not limited to these applications.  These sensor types all use a reed element to 

sense a magnetic field and a triac to drive the output, and include standard surge suppression.  This configuration provides 

excellent longevity even under the most demanding conditions.  The Type 21 & 25 utilize a two wired switch has no LED and 

Types 23, 24 & 29 utilize a three wired switch with LED.

 

Features:  • Solid state triac output = long life 

• Low voltage drop 

• Zero leakage current   

 

 

  • High power capacity 

• Resistant to current inrush 

• Nema 6 versions available 

 

 

  • CSA versions available

  

Electronic Sensors:

   Type 15 & 16 -

These two sensors use magnetoresistive elements with no magnetic polarity.  They are 100% solid state, and have no moving 

parts, resulting in extremely long life expectancy.  These virtually vibration and shock proof sensors utilize a rugged triac to 

switch power convenient AC voltage (common to reed switches) combined with the reliability of solid state technology (com-

mon to electronic switches).

 

Features:  • Solid state circuitry = long life 

• Low voltage drop 

• AC operation

 

  • LED indicator 

• CSA versions available 

• Resistant to shock and vibration  

 

  • Resistant to current inrush 

• Nema 6 versions available 

• No minimum current to operate

   Type 31 & 32 -

These sensors use magnetoresistive elements with no magnetic polarity.  They are 100% solid state, and have no moving 

parts, resulting in extremely long life expectancy.  They are designed to operate within 6 to 24V DC, and are available in two 

configurations:  NPN (Sinking) output and PNP (Sourcing) output.  Both include an indicator light which illuminates when the 

switch is actuated.  No minimum load current and low voltage drop make them ideal for use with programmable controllers.

 

Features:  • Solid state circuitry = long life 

• Low voltage drop 

• No minimum current to operate   

 

  • LED indicator 

• CSA versions available 

• High power capacity

 

  • Resistant to current inrush

General Description

REED & ELECTRONIC SENSORS FOR

PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS WITH 12MM DOVETAIL

The Canfield Connector Series 8WS reed and electronic magnet sensors are rugged yet compact switches used to 

sense position on pneumatic actuators equipped with a magnetic piston and 12mm dovetail groove. The switch can be 

slipped in and tightened from anywhere along the groove that is fabricated into the cylinder wall or clamping system. 

The switch features a die cast holder which clamps to the cylinder groove while the electronics are fully encapsulated 

and resistance to environment. These sensors offer a wide voltage range from 0-120 V AC/DC 50/60Hz and have a up 

to a 500 mA switching current rating. The switch has a high intensity indicator light which indicates power to the switch 

and load. The switch comes standard with 9 ft. PVC or 8mm quick connect male pigtail.

SERIES 9C

 

General Description

The Series 9C is a compact, universal, magnetically operated proximity switch commonly used on aluminum extruded 

profile type linear actuators equipped with magnetic pistons.  The switches are available in both reed and electronic 

styles and made to fit into a 4mm key hole type slot.  Position fixing is accomplished by means of a screw that is supplied 

in the switch body.  The on board indicator light shows instant switch diagnostics to minimize downtime and facilitate 

installation and can be seen from wide angles.  Available in  the standard 9 ft. PVC wired or  optional 8mm quick con-

nect, the switch can handle AC or DC current in several configurations.  The 9C is assembled in engineered polymers 

and designed to meet NEMA 6 / IP 67 environmental specifications.
