Bimba MSC GMR Magnetic Sensor Reed Switch 5-24VDC

The Bimba MSC GMR Magnetic Sensor is a compact 4 mm round switch that uses GMR technology to provide a 3‑wire PNP (sourcing) output and operates on 5 to 24 VDC, specifically for the MSC family (MSC, MSCX, MSCQ). It is designed to be normally open and rated for up to 50 mA load, with a typical on‑state voltage drop around 1.5 V and off‑state leakage of up to 10 µA, while drawing a quiescent current of about 5 mA. This fast-acting device delivers turn‑on/turn‑off times around 0.10 ms and is housed in an IEC IP67 enclosure capable of withstanding demanding industrial environments from −20°C to 85°C, making it suitable for rugged position sensing on actuators and conveyors. An LED indicator glows yellow to confirm actuation, helping with quick diagnostics in control panels and installations. The MSC line (including MSCX and MSCQ variants) represents Bimba’s family of magnetic sensor switches for 5–24 VDC circuits, optimized for compact installations where reliable magnetic sensing is required in automation and machine applications.
