Norgren QM/32/P Reed Switch with M12 Plug - IP66
Part Number: QM/32/P
Quick Summary
QM/32/P reed switch provides magnetically operated sensing for compact machine guarding in automation panels. Designers often contend with unreliable sensors in dusty, damp environments and lengthy wiring on new or retrofit projects. Two critical standards underpin its reliability: IP66-rated protection for dust and water ingress, and operation across -20 to 80°C, ensuring performance in extreme conditions. This combination supports seamless integration with modern control systems and easy panel design, delivering faster deployment and lower total cost of ownership. The device’s compatibility with Norgren's Lintra Plus line and standard M12 plug wiring also reduces spare parts and maintenance complexity.
