59025 Firecracker Reed Sensor + 57025 Actuator
Description
The 59025 Firecracker Reed Sensor is a small cylindrical reed sensor, 25.4mm (L)
x 6.22mm (Dia.) (1.00” x 0.245”), with a choice of normally open, normally closed
or change-over contacts. It is capable of switching up to 265Vac/300Vdc
at 10VA. The 59025 Firecracker Reed Sensor is available with a range of
sensitivity and cable length options. It functions best with the 57025 actuator.
Note: The 57025 Actuator is sold separately.
Features
• Magnetically-operated proximity
sensor
• Hermetically sealed contacts
• Operates through non-ferrous
materials such as wood, plastic
or aluminum
• Customer-defined sensitivity option
• Custom cable length and connector
options available

Agency File Number
E61760
Note: Contact Littelfuse for specific agency approval ratings.
Benefits
• Fits nicely into small confined
spaces
• Quick and easy to install
• Well suited for usage in high-
moisture and contaminated
environments
• Non-contact solution, aesthetically
more appealing than push-button or
lever mechanical-type switches
• Ideal for battery-powered
applications as the contacts do not
draw power when in the non-
activated state
• Reed contacts last for millions of
operating cycles under micro-
controller logic level loads

Notes:
1. Contact rating - Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wattage rating. Contact Littelfuse for additional load/life information.
2. When switching inductive and/or capacitive loads, the effects of transient voltages and/or currents should be considered. Refer to Application Notes AN108A and AN107 for details.
3. Breakdown Voltage - per MIL-STD-202, Method 301. Leakage current is less than 0.1mA for 60 seconds.
4. Electrical Load Life Expectancy - Contact Littelfuse with voltage, current values along with type of load.
5. This resistance value is for 11.81mm wire length. Resistance changes when wire lengthens.
6. Operate (including bounce)/Release Time - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A, diode suppressed coil (Coil II).
7. Shock and Vibration - per EIA/NARM RS-421-A and MIL-STD-202.
8. For custom modifications to the wire length or size, or adding a special connector, please contact Littelfuse.
9. Custom sensitivities and a high voltage switch are options
