Tane Alarm stb-3/8tcwh Recessed Contact 10 Pack

Product Description

The TANE ALARM stb-3/8tcwh is a recessed magnetic contact designed for door and window intrusion detection in residential and commercial security systems. Each contact features a quick-connect terminal configuration, allowing for faster field terminations without soldering. Sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 3/4 inch body length, this contact fits standard recessed bores drilled into door or window frames. The pack contains 10 contacts, making it practical for multi-point installations or stocking service inventory. Security alarm installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that specify and install this type of recessed contact.

Recessed door and window contacts of this type are used in new construction and retrofit security installations where surface-mounted contacts are not preferred for aesthetic or tamper-resistance reasons. The stb-3/8tcwh is suited for wood, hollow-core, and light composite door and window frames where a 3/8 inch bore can be drilled to the required depth. The 10-unit pack format is well-suited for commercial jobs, multi-unit residential projects, or technician van stock replenishment.

Key Features

• Recessed mounting profile keeps contacts concealed within door or window frame
• Quick-connect terminal simplifies field wiring and reduces installation time
• 3/8 inch diameter body fits standard recessed bore dimensions
• 10-pack quantity supports multi-point jobs and bulk stocking
• Compatible with standard low-voltage alarm panel wiring configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed magnetic contact for use with standard low-voltage residential and commercial intrusion detection systems that accept normally closed or normally open dry-contact inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security alarm technicians in accordance with local codes and NFPA 731 guidelines. De-energize the alarm panel zone circuit before terminating wiring to the contact leads. Use a drill bit sized to the contact body diameter to bore the mounting hole to the correct depth in the door or window frame, and ensure the magnet and contact are aligned within manufacturer-recommended gap tolerances. Avoid over-seating the contact body, as compression can affect reed switch operation.
