Overview
The Bimba MRS-.087-XBL is a heavy-duty magnetic reed switch designed for industrial position sensing and control applications. Built for pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke detection and similar automation tasks, this switch provides reliable, contact-based switching with integrated LED status indication. The 3-wire configuration simplifies wiring in modern control systems while the 24V AC/DC rating ensures compatibility with standard industrial power supplies.
Key Features
- 24V AC/DC rated with 500mA switching capacity for general-purpose solenoid and control valve circuits
- 3-wire configuration with integrated LED indicator for visual status feedback and troubleshooting
- 144-inch pigtail flying leads for flexible installation and mounting away from the switch body
- Heavy-duty reed switch construction for reliable, wear-free contact-based operation
- Compact, lightweight design (0.25 lbs) for integration into standard control panels and sensor locations
- No band mounting—cable connection only for retrofit and new installations
