Schmersal Magnetic Safety Switch, 100V AC/DC, M20 - BNS16 Series - BNS16 12ZV This Schmersal non-contact safety switch turns one contact on and two contacts off when it detects the position of a magnetic actuator. It has a switch ON distance of 8mm and switch OFF distance of 18mm. Connections are made using an eight-pin M20 connector. The black thermoplastic enclosure is glass fibre-reinforced and has an IP67 (ingress protection) rating, indicating it's protected from dust and water. It can be mounted in a concealed position and is insensitive to transverse misalignment. The actuator (617-5346) is available separately.

• Security systems
• Access panels
• Assembly lines What does an IP67 rating mean? The first number represents a device's ingress protection against solid materials, while the second number represents liquid ingress. A rating of 67 means that the unit is totally protected against dust and can tolerate being immersed in up to one metre of liquid for 30 minutes.
