Schneider Electric SGA8176 Sensor Magnetic Switch

The Schneider Electric Telemecanique SGA8176 Sensor Magnetic Switch is a coded magnetic switch that provides non-contact position sensing with a normally open reed contact for industrial safety and automation applications, enabling reliable monitoring of door positions, guards, and access points without mechanical wear. In the SG Range, it features surface-mount mounting with pre-cabled terminals and supports a rated voltage of 250 V DC or 135 V AC, a maximum current of 0.5 A, and an operating temperature range from -25°C to +70°C, with explicit overload and short-circuit protection to improve system reliability. The device's function is Magnetic Position Detection (1 NO Reed Contact), and it is intended as an OEM direct replacement with common replacements listed as Schneider Electric SGA8176 or Telemecanique SGA8176, making retrofits and equipment upgrades straightforward within industrial control panels and safety interlock systems. Common applications include machine guards, gate monitoring, conveyors, packaging lines, warehouse automation, and other industrial safety and position sensing needs where a non-contact solution helps minimize mechanical wear and downtime.
