AH373-PL-A Overview
An integrated magnetic switch is packaged within the Tape & Box (TB) in order to protect it against damage. 3-SIP, Formed Leads packages are used for safety reasons to protect magnetic switches. In their operating mode, these switches can output a maximum current of 25mA. Normally, these switches supply 4mA current. 3 pins are required for the switches to function. This termination has 3 terminations. In general, the switches should output 25mA of current. During operation, the magnetic switches could supply 9V.
