Canfield Connector’s Series 9Q is a magnetic proximity switch specifically engineered to fit “T” slot extruded actuators.  

The 9Q’s small size is applicable for most space requirements, according to the company. Its design enables installation anywhere along the slot and assembly without removing the actuator end cap. The sensors are offered as a flying lead or 8mm quick connect.

Available in reed or electronic sensing, these polyurethane encapsulated switches feature an onboard indicator light and a hard nylon shell; offer reverse polarity protection, and are available in DC or AC voltage versions. The electronic sensing version has no moving parts. The Series 9Q operates in a temperature range from -20 ° to +80 °C, are corrosion and wash-down resistant, are compatible with IS (intrinsically safe) barriers, and most versions are designed to meet NEMA 6/IP 67 specifications.
