Magnasphere Corp MSS-63S-B Surface Mount Magnetic Contact

Product Description

The MAGNASPHERE CORP MSS-63S-B is a surface mount magnetic contact switch designed for open loop security and monitoring applications. It ships with a lead wire and features a brown housing suited for installations where the switch blends with door or window trim. The MSS-63S-B is a single-unit component used to detect the open or closed state of a door, window, hatch, or access panel. Electricians and security system installers use this type of switch as a sensing element in alarm, access control, and building automation circuits.

The MSS-63S-B is intended for surface mount installation on doors, windows, gates, or enclosure lids where a recessed mount is not practical. The open loop configuration makes it appropriate for normally-closed or normally-open detection circuits depending on how it is wired into the control panel. It is sold as a single unit and is typically found in both residential and light commercial security and monitoring installations.

Key Features

• Surface mount form factor for straightforward installation without drilling deep cavities
• Includes lead wire for direct connection to control panel or wiring harness
• Brown housing for discreet placement on wood trim, door frames, or similar surfaces
• Open loop design compatible with standard alarm and access control panel inputs
• Single-unit packaging sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation surface mount magnetic contact switch for use in residential and light commercial security, alarm, and access control systems that accept lead-wire magnetic contacts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage security technician. Power down or disarm the control panel before connecting or replacing any contact switch in the circuit. Follow NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines and any applicable local codes when routing lead wires. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners, as this can crack the switch housing and affect reed contact alignment.
