AH372-W-7 is a type of magnetic sensor – switch (solid state). It is a reed switch option that detects and activates based on magnetic fields. It is operated in a contactless manner, with no moving parts and no mechanical contact to help achieve long-lasting, safe and reliable switching even in harsh environments. This reed switch is available in many sizes, both open or shielded, with different mounting options, and in standard and custom configurations, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications.

Applications

AH372-W-7 is perfect for automated solutions involving contactless control, and is most commonly used in medical equipment and industrial automation. In medical equipment, it is used for monitoring vital signs such as temperature, pulse, and respiration. In industrial automation, it is used for measuring flow volume, detecting level, checking vibration, indicating position, and more. Its reliable switching performance also makes it an ideal choice for security systems. It can detect the presence of metal objects or motion, and then act accordingly to engage or disengage alarm systems. AH372-W-7 can also be used in automotive applications, as it can detect the presence of a metal object and act as a switch in engine compartments, where any water or fuel exposure would not affect its performance.

Working Principle

The AH372-W-7 operates by using a series of magnets and a reed switch. The magnets create a field that is detected by the reed switch, which actuates in response to the presence or absence of a magnetic field. The reed switch consists of two thin metal contacts, sealed hermetically in a glass envelope. When the contacts are exposed to a magnetic field, they are drawn together and make contact, completing the circuit. As the magnetic field weakens or disappears, the contacts separate, breaking the circuit.

The AH372-W-7 is designed to be used in conjunction with an external magnet and trigger circuit. When a magnet is placed near the switch, the contact is activated, and a current passes through the switch. This current will send a signal to the trigger circuit, which will then activate or deactivate the associated devices. When the magnet is removed, the current is cut off and the contact separation will automatically reset the switch.

Conclusion

The AH372-W-7 magnetic sensor – switch (solid state) is a reliable reed switch option for contactless control and automation solutions. It is designed to be used with external magnets and trigger circuits, allowing it to sense the presence or absence of a magnetic field and actuate switch as needed. This versatile switch can be used in a wide range of applications, including medical equipment, industrial automation, security systems, and automotive applications. Its reliable switching performance and long-lasting durability make it a great choice for automated system control.
