MLF Switch

The MLF switch uses a glass filled nylon housing to completely enclose the switch.  This switch is available with or without an LED.

The MLF switch is available in a variety of reed configurations, as well as Hall device configurations (sinking or sourcing).  Some of the various configurations are listed below.  UL, and CSA is not normally needed on low voltage, secondary circuits.

This cylinder switch is used primarily with smooth bore cylinders.  Although the majority of switches use cable construction, we do offer the 8mm connector as an option (see below).  The connector version is used where maintenance and down time are of prime concern.

CONNECTION:    (Top)

Color-coded wires are used for easy installation.  For Hall device switches: color code is Brown (+), Blue (-), and Black (load).
