About the AMS-38

The AMS-38B is a UL and ULC listed mechanical surface mount contact designed for burglar alarm systems and door/window intrusion detection. With a 5/8" operating gap and durable Alnico 5 magnet, this contact reliably triggers alarm functions when openings are accessed. The NO/NC combination contact type allows flexible integration into closed-loop alarm circuits, lighting controls, sounders, and other secondary applications.

Built to handle higher voltages than standard reed switches, the AMS-38 is AC rated and engineered for professional and DIY installation on door frames, window sills, and cabinet entries. The white finish blends seamlessly with most residential and commercial interiors. Surface mount design enables quick, non-invasive setup on existing frames and structures.

  • UL and ULC listed with AC rating for reliable alarm system integration
  • 5/8" operating gap detects door and window openings up to a wide separation distance
  • Alnico 5 magnet provides consistent magnetic field strength and durability
  • NO/NC combination contact supports burglar alarms, lighting activation, and sounders
  • White color matches standard door frames and interior trim
  • Surface mount design enables quick installation without drilling or permanent modification
