Product SKU: WSS60BN
Product Overview
The SECOR WSS60BN Surface Mount Reed Switch Brown NC 50mm Gap is a wide-gap magnetic reed switch designed for compatible alarm, access control and door monitoring applications. It features an epoxy-sealed reed switch, normally closed SPST contact and a 50mm operating gap, making it suitable for installations where a wider magnet-to-switch tolerance is required. The brown surface mount housing measures 90 x 13 x 18mm and provides a discreet finish for timber doors, brown frames, cupboards, cabinets and protected openings where recessed installation is not practical. With a maximum resistance of 0.2Ω, 8W rating, 100VDC maximum voltage and 500mA maximum current, the WSS60BN is a practical option for low-voltage security circuits requiring reliable open/close monitoring.
Key Capabilities
Wide 50mm Gap
The WSS60BN supports a 50mm gap, making it suitable where standard close-gap reed switches may not provide enough mounting tolerance.
Normally Closed Contact
The NC SPST contact format suits compatible alarm and access control inputs configured for normally closed open/close monitoring.
Epoxy-Sealed Reed Switch
The reed switch is epoxy sealed, helping protect the switch element within the surface mount housing.
Surface Mount Installation
The surface mount design is useful for doors, frames, cabinets and openings where recessed reed switch installation is not suitable.
Brown Housing Finish
The brown housing provides a more discreet finish on timber doors, brown frames, cabinetry and traditional interior surfaces.
Low-Voltage Security Circuit Use
The switch ratings suit compatible low-voltage monitoring circuits where the voltage, current and load remain within the listed limits.
Best For
- Door Monitoring: Suitable for compatible alarm systems that need surface-mounted open/close detection on doors or frames.
- Wide-Gap Applications: Useful where a 50mm gap is required due to door alignment, frame depth or mounting position.
- Access Control Inputs: Practical for door position monitoring on compatible access control systems.
- Cabinet and Cupboard Monitoring: Suitable for protected cupboards, cabinets or service enclosures where surface mounting is preferred.
- Timber-Look Installations: A better colour match for brown frames, timber doors, wooden cabinetry and traditional fit-outs.
Why Choose the WSS60BN
Choose the SECOR WSS60BN when the installation needs a brown surface mount reed switch with a wider 50mm operating gap. Its normally closed SPST contact, epoxy-sealed reed switch and compact 90 x 13 x 18mm housing make it suitable for compatible alarm and access control circuits where reliable open/close monitoring is required. Compared with a standard close-gap contact, the WSS60BN gives installers more tolerance for wider door gaps, uneven mounting surfaces or retrofit applications. This model, supplied by Security Wholesalers, is a practical option for residential and commercial security installations requiring a wide-gap brown surface mount reed switch.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm the required contact type before ordering. The WSS60BN is a normally closed SPST reed switch, so it should match the alarm panel or access control input configuration.
Buyer Tip: Choose the housing colour to suit the installation surface. The WSS60BN is brown, while white, beige or black versions may be more suitable for different doors, frames or cabinetry.

Ideal Use Cases
Door Position Monitoring
Use on compatible alarm or access control systems where a door open/closed condition needs to be monitored.
Wide Door Gaps
Suitable where standard reed switches may not suit the gap between the moving door and fixed frame.
Surface Mount Retrofits
Useful for retrofit jobs where recessed contact drilling is not preferred or not practical.
Access-Controlled Doors
Can be used as a door status input for compatible access control systems requiring NC contact monitoring.
Cabinets and Enclosures
A practical contact for monitoring cupboards, storage cabinets or service enclosures in compatible security systems.
Timber Colour Installations
Useful where a brown contact provides a better visual match than a white, beige or black reed switch.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a brown wide-gap surface mount reed switch with NC SPST contact and 50mm gap.
- Choose WSS60WH if: The installation requires a white housing rather than brown.
- Choose WSS60BE if: The installation requires a beige housing for neutral, cream or lighter timber-look surfaces.
- Choose WSS60BK if: The installation requires a black housing for dark frames or modern commercial fit-outs.
- Choose a recessed reed switch if: The project requires hidden installation inside the door and frame rather than surface mounting.
- Check before installation: Confirm gap, contact type, voltage, current, circuit rating, mounting position and magnet alignment.
FAQs
- What is the SECOR WSS60BN used for?
The SECOR WSS60BN is used as a surface mount reed switch for compatible alarm and access control systems. It monitors the open or closed state of doors, frames, cabinets or protected openings using a magnetic reed switch and matching magnet. - What does a 50mm gap mean?
The 50mm gap refers to the listed operating distance between the reed switch and magnet. This wider gap is useful where the door and frame are not close enough for a standard contact, although final performance depends on alignment and mounting conditions. - Is the WSS60BN normally closed?
Yes. The WSS60BN uses an NC SPST contact. The installer should confirm the alarm panel or access control input is configured for normally closed contact monitoring before connecting the reed switch. - Can this reed switch be used on access control doors?
Yes. The WSS60BN can be used for compatible access control door status monitoring where the controller input supports NC contact operation and the voltage and current remain within the listed reed switch ratings. - Is this a recessed reed switch?
No. The WSS60BN is a surface mount reed switch. It is mounted onto the door, frame or monitored surface, making it useful for retrofit installations or areas where recessed drilling is not suitable. - What are the electrical ratings?
The WSS60BN has a maximum resistance of 0.2Ω, maximum rating of 8W, maximum voltage of 100VDC and maximum current of 500mA. The connected circuit should remain within these ratings for safe and reliable operation. - What are the dimensions?
The SECOR WSS60BN measures 90 x 13 x 18mm. Installers should confirm the available mounting space, door/frame clearance and cable route before installation, especially on narrow frames or uneven surfaces. - What should I check before buying the WSS60BN?
Before buying the WSS60BN, confirm that your system requires an NC SPST surface mount reed switch, the 50mm gap suits the door or opening, and the brown colour matches the installation surface. This model is available through Security Wholesalers for compatible alarm and access control monitoring applications.
