MC-38 Wired Magnetic House Security Alarm Sensor for Door and Windows MC-38 Wired Door Window Sensor Magnetic Switch Home Alarm System can be used as a door or window security system. It produces the signal when moved away from each other which can be fed to the microcontroller to perform the desired action as per requirement. This sensor is suitable to use for triggering an alarm or ON/OFF light inside a cupboard sliding door. This wired sensor is triggered by the magnet. When the magnet is closed by, the circuit is closed or open if the magnet is far from the sensor. This MC-38 Magnetic Contact Switch Sensor acts like a normal switch so, you can connect to the Ground(GND) pin too. Not necessarily connect to power supply. Note : Normally closed: When the magnet is together, the circuit is conductive( light on); when the magnet is separate, the circuit is not conductive ( light off ). For example: Install on the door, close door light on. open door light off. Applications: Doors Windows Sliding cupboards Home Security Projects

Is the MC-38 sensor compatible with Arduino?
Yes, the MC-38 is a dry contact switch and can be directly connected to Arduino digital pins with a pull-up resistor for door/window status monitoring.
What is the operating voltage of the MC-38 sensor?
The MC-38 is a passive magnetic switch and does not require power. It acts as a normally closed (NC) circuit that opens when the magnet is detached.
Can this sensor be used for sliding cupboard doors?
Yes, the MC-38 is ideal for sliding cupboards, wardrobes, and cabinets where magnetic contact detection is needed for lighting or security alerts.
How is the MC-38 wired in a security system?
Connect the two wires in series with your alarm circuit. When the door opens, the magnet separates, breaking the circuit and triggering the alarm.
