It operates from 5–30 VDC and sinks up to 200 mA through an NPN transistor output, making it suitable for direct PLC input interfacing. The MSH6-PT-196 variant features a long 196-inch (approximately 5 meters) lead length (PT-196) for flexible wiring in dense installations. This model is part of the MSH6-PT family, with related variants such as MSH6-PT-78 and MSHP-196 documented in industry catalogs, and is intended for sensing and short-load switching in automated equipment. The 3-pin package provides V+, Output, and Ground connections, offering a solid-state alternative to mechanical switches and reducing wear in repetitive-cycle environments. Its sinking (NPN) configuration makes it convenient to connect to PLC inputs configured to sink current, while compatibility with other MSH\/MSHP variants supports flexible deployment across multiple sensing points in a single automation system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51659906449710,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_bd566c04-da2e-47a9-ab7b-d241bde5f0a7.jpg?v=1769530556","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/american-msh6-pt-196-solid-state-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
