Non-Contact Switch Sensor Types
Typical Non-Contact Switch Applications

Non-Contact Switches
Non-contact switches are cost-effective source for a binary output (on/off or yes/no), with the added advantage of eliminating the wear, electrical noise and vibration created by physical contact between a sensor and its target.
Non-Contact Switches are commonly used to detect the presence of a magnetic field or ferrous metal, D&R non-contact switches can also detect light & pressure. In applications where advanced data on the position of a target is not necessary, the use of a non-contact switch can result in significant cost savings. A wide range of sensor technologies can be applied to suit application-specific parameters.
Cylinder non-contact switches

Monitoring brake function in a under-car, sealed system.
Seat belt non-contact switches
Mechanically durable switching with design-friendly features including small size.
Available non-contact switches output:
- 2-wire current modulation
- 3-wire open collector output
- Latched or unlatched operation
