Abstract
A magnetic switch apparatus for detecting relative movement between first and second members comprises a switch assembly, a magnetic actuator, and an enclosure. The switch assembly mounts on the first member and is configured to shift between states. The magnetic actuator mounts on the second member and is configured to shift the switch assembly between states when the members change positions. The enclosure houses the switch assembly or the magnetic actuator on its respective member and includes a coupling structure configured to decouple from the respective member when the enclosure is shifted in a direction away from the respective member. The direction is at least partially toward the other member when the members are in a close position.
