I'm looking for a 120VAC proximity switch, SPST NO, something like alarms use on doors and windows. Has anyone seen anything like this?
The application is to determine if an x-ray shield is in place. Unfortunately there is no AC in the area to be able to use a relay and low voltage sensors. There are just the two wire that need to be shorted when the shield/door is in the correct position. The previous solution was a reed switch, but the geometry of the shield/door makes this a very difficult solution and the sensor get's destroyed if the user doesn't manipulate the shield correctly. I'm hoping to change to a proximity senor to keep this from happening again.
Thanks, Bernie
