The Littelfuse 59145 is a hermetically sealed, flange-mount SPST-NO reed switch designed for reliable proximity and position sensing in industrial and security applications. Its magnetically operated contacts require no standby power and can operate through non-ferrous materials, making it ideal for integration into control panels, door/window sensors, and linear actuators.

Features

  • SPST-NO (Single-Pole, Single-Throw, Normally Open) contact configuration
  • Hermetically sealed glass envelope for long-term reliability in contaminated environments
  • Flange mounting design (20.32mm) for screw-down or adhesive installation
  • 300mm (12″) flying leads for flexible wiring, exit left or right side
  • Operates through non-ferrous materials like wood, plastic, or aluminum

Description

The Littelfuse 59145 reed switch is a passive, magnetically actuated proximity sensor. It consists of two ferrous reeds sealed within a glass tube. When an external magnetic field of sufficient strength is brought near the switch, the reeds magnetize, attract each other, and close the electrical circuit. This hermetically sealed construction ensures the contacts remain free from dust, moisture, and oxidation, providing exceptional longevity compared to optical or mechanical switches.

Designed for industrial durability, the switch operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. Its flange housing allows for secure mounting, and the 300mm flying leads offer flexible connection options. As a purely magnetic device, it consumes zero standby power, making it suitable for low-energy or fail-safe sensing applications in security systems, position feedback for actuators, and limit sensing.

Key Features

  • Hermetically sealed glass tube protects contacts from contamination, ensuring long operational life
  • Flange-mounted case design enables robust screw-down or adhesive mounting
  • 300mm (12") flying leads provide wiring flexibility and simplify installation
  • Zero standby power requirement; operates purely via external magnetic field
  • Capable of sensing through non-ferrous barriers like wood, plastic, or aluminum
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C for harsh environments
  • SPST-NO contact configuration suitable for simple on/off control circuits

Applications

  • Door and window position sensing in security and alarm systems
  • Limit and end-stop detection for linear actuators and sliding mechanisms
  • Proximity sensing in industrial equipment through non-metallic panels
  • Liquid level detection using a float-mounted magnet
  • Position feedback in automotive and appliance controls

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum current this reed switch can handle?

The Littelfuse 59145 reed switch is rated for a maximum current of 0.5 Amps. It is designed for low-power signal switching and control applications, not for high-current loads like motors or heaters directly.

How do I mount and wire the 59145 reed switch?

The switch features a 20.32mm flange with mounting holes for secure screw-down installation. It comes with 300mm (12") flying leads that can be routed to exit either the left or right side of the housing for wiring flexibility. Simply connect the leads in series with your load and control circuit.

Can this switch detect a magnet through a material?

Yes. The magnetically operated contacts can actuate through non-ferrous, non-magnetic materials such as plastic, wood, glass, or aluminum. The sensing distance and required magnet strength will depend on the thickness and material of the barrier.

What does SPST-NO mean for this reed switch?

SPST-NO stands for Single-Pole, Single-Throw, Normally Open. This means the switch has one set of contacts that are open (non-conducting) when no magnetic field is present. When a magnet is brought near, the contacts close to complete the circuit.
