	Hi all I have a need for a small/sub-miniature magnetic proximity switch, 4 to 6mm diameter cylindrical package would be ideal, that can withstand -55 to +150degC and also some severe shock and vibration. Anyone used something similar recently and can make a recommendation? The electrical properties of the switch aren't desperately important just at the moment as we're at the development stage - could be NO, NC or changeover. Quantities up to say a dozen at the moment, just to get us started. Thanks very much in advance Dan, London UK

	Do you prefer a magnetic base to attach (sticks to metal) or one that detects magnets as material? __________________ Plenty of room here

	Sorry that was unclear - the proximity switch would be activated by the presence nearby of the magnet.

	Hi Dan, Have you tried DigiKey? Look here. Looked like there might be something there for you. Mike __________________ "Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone." - Ayn Rand
