Overview
Protect doors and openings with dependable, code-ready detection using the Potter Electric Signal, LLC AMS-38B mechanical surface mount contact. This magnetic contact is UL/ULC-listed and AC-rated to withstand higher voltages than standard reed switches, making it a solid choice for security, surveillance and access control applications. The AMS-38B offers Form C (N.C./N.O.) contacts for flexible integration with alarm panels, monitoring systems, lighting or sounder activation. Its Alnico 5 magnet and a standard 5/8-inch (0.63") operating gap deliver consistent actuation distance and long-term reliability. The hybrid surface-mount design reduces install time—ideal for retrofitting frames where mortising isn’t possible—and the brown finish blends into wood and metal doors for a low-profile appearance. Use the AMS-38B to enhance perimeter protection, trigger auxiliary surveillance inputs, or add dependable door monitoring to your access control setup. Order the Potter AMS-38B today to upgrade your security system with a rugged, easy-to-install magnetic contact.
