 All right, this week's IMPI is brought to you by the letter C and K, and did you key and aid of your team up, and we show you all the cool new products, did you key.com? What is it this week? Okay, so I didn't realize we actually did C and K like a month ago, but I really like this NPI. And here's another thing because C and K makes a lot of mechatronic things like non-silicon. It's not affected by the silicon shortage, which means it's in stock, and I like to only, if possible, only show off things that are in stock for IMPI, so you can go and purchase them immediately. So this week's IMPI is the MPSR03, these are rugged magnetic read sensor switches from C and K. This is kind of a simple thing, it's like, it's a magnetic read switch, or people are probably like, you sell these, what's the big deal with these? And these are like the Cadillac of magnetic read sensor switches, these are like so good. So here's the specs, they're good for like 5 million contacts, switches are something ridiculous. Sorry, 2 million contact operations, they're IP69, which is super nice. They are SPDT, so you get both normally open and normally closed. They're easy to install, they're basically like the magnetic read switches that you know and love. One side has a magnetic element, that's the part on the right, that's the magnet, on the left there's a little read switch, it's a sensor that closes when a sensor, the magnet gets close. And we sell these in the shop, and they're sold also on Digikey for a couple bucks. And these are fine for indoor maker projects, but one of the things that we definitely see a lot is, you know, makers are like, I want to build a thing, and they get a sensor from Adafruit and we have a lot, you know, our stuff is low cost, it's designed to make it really easy for people to get started, but then they actually have to like go to Burning Man and install it, or make a robot and install it, or they're like, they do it as a job and it's going into, you know, an industrial space or a space with a lot of people. So over the weekend, we bumped into a friend and, you know, their partner worked as a exhibit designer and fabricator at the Museum of Science in Boston, and it reminded me that like, there's actually nothing that needs to be more rugged than museum exhibits because not only do they have to last for 10 years, but they have to be, you know, basically used and abused by young children and, you know, teenagers and kids and their parents, just like breaking stuff and pulling on stuff, and that's where sensors like this would be really handy. You know, you're never going to get a sensor like this to survive anyone who actually is trying to break it for like more than like five seconds, but the rugged one, you know, it's rugged and so you're going to pay a lot more, but I do want to, you know, and people come to us and they're like, why doesn't this $4 switch last forever outside? It's not what it's designed for. If you're going to build stuff for outside, for rugged use, for dusty environments, for wet environments, you need to spend more, but you're going to be so happy. And so when I got this sensor, because I ordered this as a sample, yeah, and it's, it's like, it's really nice. Geez, no, that's like, if you said, okay, you know, from five feet away, like, what is this? I'd be like, I don't know. It's something pretty industrial, because like, this always looks like, you know, the conduit for doing electrical work. Yeah, so it's flexible. Yeah, or it's like the tail from one of the squitties and the matrix. Yes, it's just probably what they, you know, use. So I don't remember, I know when it's, it's gooseneck when you can manipulate it. This is flexible, so it's, it's quite flexible. You can move it around, but of course, you know, it's, it's solid metal and it's, it's a little springy too. It's, you know, waterproof and then inside, there's the three wires. And this is just like this massive switch and it's massive magnet that goes with it. So yeah, it's like 40 bucks, but this is going to last until the end of time. Like this is nearly indestructible. So prototype your project with one of these, you know, you can get these at the DGC for four dollars. They work fine. The idea is the same, you know, this switch closes and this one, of course, has open and close, but then when you want to install it, please, please, please don't, don't use this like soft kitten like sensor, which was, it just really needs to be treated quite nicely. You want the lion, you want like the Godzilla of magnetic read sensors. And so this is really, really fun. It's like potted, it's epoxy, it's rated. Yeah, if you, if you, if this hit you in the face, you'd be unhappy. Yeah, yeah, this is it's, it's potted metal with an epoxy inside. So it'll survive anything. So, uh, yeah, this is what we recommend. So, so please, please, um, when you make stuff, whether it's for a museum exhibit, your burning man project, your robot, step it up, get the right thing, get the right sensor, you will be really, really happy. You might be like, but it's more expensive. Yeah. But how much is your time worth? Do you want to have to go and have to repair it every year, or do you want something that's just going to last for 10, 20, 30 years? Well, all right. Bill Blum, did you key, uh, go get it. And, uh, yes, we're bad. Yeah. I mean, this is just, this is like a beast. All right. It's like a weapon too. All right. That's this week's IMPI.
