## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=FIT0658:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/FIT0658:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The proximity switch usually possesses the characteristics of travel switch, micro switch and sensor. This is a small 5V metal proximity switch with 27\*10\*6mm size, which can be easily mounted in tight space. It features NPN (normally open) output, 4mm detection distance, 1000Hz switching frequency. The response time is less than 1ms, quick and stable. These sensors are IP67 rated, which can withstand a temperature range of -20°C ~ 65°C. So, this sensor can be used indoor and outdoor regardless of the weather.
