Bimba HSCQCX-09 Solid State Switch

The Bimba HSCQCX-09 is a band-mounted, solid-state magnetic switch in the HS Series engineered for 1-1/16 inch (27 mm) bore cylinders and compatible actuators, enabling non-contact piston-position sensing in compact automation setups. This three-wire device delivers either sourcing (PNP) or sinking (NPN) outputs and uses a solid-state sensing element to detect a magnet on the piston, providing reliable switch action with no moving parts. Electrical specs include a 4.5–30 VDC supply, up to 150 mA load current, 10 µA off-state leakage, 40 V reverse-battery protection, 500 W peak transient protection, and a maximum overvoltage rating of 37 V. Typical configurations pair a 6 inch M8 male connector with a 5 m mating cable (catalog variants also offer shorter or longer cables), and the HSCQCX-09 is listed as compatible and tested with Original Line Cylinders, Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators, and Linear Thrusters for magnetic sensing applications.
