Bimba HSKX-17 Current Sinking Solid State Switch

The Bimba HSKX-17 Current Sinking Solid State Switch is a compact three‑wire sensor in Bimba’s HK/HSK solid‑state switch family, engineered to provide a sinking (NPN) output for low‑current DC loads and designed for use with Bimba Flat‑1 and Flat‑II actuators. It operates on 4.5–30 V DC input, with a quiescent current of up to 30 mA and an on‑state drop of up to 0.4 V, and it can switch up to 150 mA, making it suitable for PLC signals and small DC loads. The sinking version uses a red LED indicator, and the device is RoHS compliant with an IP67 enclosure rating for rugged environments, able to operate from −20 °C to +80 °C. It is specified as a three‑wire device with protections including over‑voltage and transient protection, and a turn‑on time of 1 ms maximum, making it well‑suited for fast sensing in compact automation layouts. The HSKX‑17 designation is listed in product listings as a current sinking (NPN) solid‑state switch in this family.
