Hoerbiger KL3054 Reed Switch

The Hoerbiger KL3054 Reed Switch is a magnetic-field actuated switch designed to open or close an electrical circuit in response to a nearby magnet. As a model in Hoerbiger's sensing and switching lineup, the KL3054 identifies this specific part for use in control circuits, proximity sensing, and automation assemblies that rely on passive, magnetically triggered contacts. In operation, movement of a magnetic field brings the reed contacts together to complete a circuit or separate them to interrupt it, enabling simple and reliable switching with no electrical drive required at the switch itself. The KL3054's compact form and passive actuation make it suitable for integration in equipment enclosures, operator interfaces, or machine components where space is limited and magnets can be used as triggers. Typical applications include proximity-based sensing, door or lid sensing, and position detection within industrial automation or security-type systems, where a magnet provides the trigger signal. For successful implementation, verify that your system's electrical specifications, mounting requirements, and magnetic triggering distance align with this model's intended use.
