• I don't know what this device does. The picture tells you everything I know. I have several hundred, so knowing will save them from the trash.

• Thank you everyone for the input. I will see if I can get one to behave like a hall effect sensor this weekend. I'll keep you posted.

• The circled 2 logo on the package is from Sprague.
