The CT10 is a moulded dry reed switch from Coto. It is single-pole, single throw (SPST) type, having normally open ruthenium contacts. It has a total operating range of 10AT to 40AT with a release range of 3AT to 35AT and a switched power of 10W (max). The CT10 series is a double-ended type and may be actuated with an electromagnet, a permanent magnet or a combination of both. The device is designed with rugged encapsulation, excellent life and reliability, SMD mounting and is available in axial or gull wing configurations. The CT10 series is ideally suited to the needs of proximity sensing, security alarm sensor, level sensor, flow sensor and pulse counter.
