355409 – Washex Magnetic Reed Switch, Position Sensor

The 355409 Washex Magnetic Reed Switch is a magnetically actuated position sensor used in Washex washer-extractor systems for door status monitoring, safety interlock confirmation, and mechanical position detection. The reed switch closes or opens an electrical circuit in response to a nearby magnetic field, providing non-contact sensing without mechanical wear.

This switch is typically mounted adjacent to a moving component containing a permanent magnet, such as a door or actuator assembly. Proper alignment between the reed switch and magnet is critical to ensure accurate signal feedback to the machine’s electronic control system.

Maintenance Tip: Verify correct magnet alignment and check for continuity at the switch leads before replacing the reed switch.
