The switch part is installed on the fixed door and window frame. The switch part and the magnet part should be aligned as much as possible. 3:The door magnet should be away from the strong magnetic field interference source such as a transformer. Otherwise, the working characteristics of the door magnet will be changed and possible wrong actions. 4:Magnetic Contact sensors can be added to an existing wired Alarm Systems. 5:They are ideal for protecting doors, windows and patio doors and any opening device such as a drawer or cupboard for example.In the event of no contact the alarm will be activated immediately.Magnetic Contacts are perfect for use in situations where it is not suitable to fit PIR sensors, for example where there are pets or animals. 6：Recommendations in application: wooden door, window, metal doors, gates and any other compatible application. N.C. / N.O. DEFINITION N.C. means Normally Closed: When the magnet together, the circuit is conductive( light on ); When the magnet separates, the circuit is not conductive ( light off ); N.O. means Normally Open: When the magnet separates, the circuit is conductive( light on ); When the magnet together, the circuit is not conductive ( light off ). Please check the right need carefully before purchasing it! PRECAUTIONS 1:It can only provide a switch signal to the device, which cannot directly load the power, nor directly connect the lamp! 2:The door magnet should be away from the strong magnetic field interference source such as a transformer. Otherwise, the working characteristics of the door magnet will be TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Review: Half worked - Only one of the two worked. One was shipped broken. Review: Great switch - Used to create wired switch for garage door - I purchased this to make my own wired open/close detector for my garage door opener. The ability to use this both as a Normally Open or Normally Closed switch is great because I wasn't sure what mode I needed to have for my plan to work. So far it has worked flawlessly for me. ## Features - Reliable Magnetic Reed Switch Performance This MC-31B magnetic reed switch provides stable and accurate detection for doors and windows.

This is measured with both pieces flat on a table and moving them apart until the reed switch stops seeing the magnet. **Q: Will these work to turn on/off LED light strips?** A: They should.All depends how you would set them up.The switch is normally used on doors and windows. **Q: What wire is recommended for use with this? Looking to wire up a light in my small toolbox.** A: 18 AWG Wire **Q: can i use this for 110v?** A: Not directly. You will need a relay that reduces the power going to the magnet. My experience is that even with 12v power supply, if the power is more that 500ma, this switch will fail. They work great, just not rated to take much current. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Half worked *by T***M on June 3, 2023* Only one of the two worked. One was shipped broken. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great switch - Used to create wired switch for garage door *by M***T on July 21, 2023* I purchased this to make my own wired open/close detector for my garage door opener. The ability to use this both as a Normally Open or Normally Closed switch is great because I wasn't sure what mode I needed to have for my plan to work. So far it has worked flawlessly for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will not melt if you use it right. *by K***Y on January 1, 2024* I found this magnetic switch and it was more-or-less perfect for my application, but I couldn't help but notice all of the reviews of melted units. On further inspection you'll notice that many of these reviews detail misuse of the product by passing far too much current through it, for example to a lightbulb. This item uses a lightbulb as an example but explicitly says it should run to some sort of panel. This is a switch meant for powering a relay that can actually handle the current of your application. This is a switch for a signal, not for power. This will work great for something like an Arduino, but it will not for powering truck lights. Be warned that this is totally a Chinese wholesale product and you probably cannot pass through as much current as it says, but using it modestly will yield the intended result. Realistically you should not pass through 0.5A. You don't need much for a signal. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2X Magnetic Reed Switch Normally Open Closed NC NO Door Alarm Window Security/Magnetic Door Switch/Magnetic Contact Switch/Reed Switch, DC 5Vto12V Light (Black) - ECO-WORTHY Linear Actuator Motor Controller, Remote Positive Inversion Control Kit for Linear Actuator, Forward Reverse Remote Control System 12V DC - ECO-WORTHY Heavy Duty 330lbs/1500N Solar Tracker Linear Actuator Multi-Functions with Mounting Brackets (12V, 4") IP54 Waterproof Linear Motion Actuator --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/215605131-mc-31b-magnetic-reed-switch-door-sensor-surface-mount-magnetic](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/215605131-mc-31b-magnetic-reed-switch-door-sensor-surface-mount-magnetic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
