Nascom

What Nascom is known for

Nascom (Royne Industries dba NASCOM) is a U.S. manufacturer focused on magnetic contacts, reed‑switch assemblies and related accessories used in intrusion alarms, door/window sensing, gate security and OEM sensor applications. The company is known for compact recessed contacts, surface and aluminum‑door contacts, overhead/rail switches and magnet accessories. Nascom highlights innovations such as flat‑reed technology, neodymium magnets and balanced/high‑security magnetic designs that reduce false alarms and handle difficult gap conditions.

Main product families and technologies

• Recessed mini contacts: compact press‑fit “stubby” switches (e.g., N1175, N175) for narrow frames and concealed installs.
• Surface and aluminum/steel door contacts: rugged surface mounts and extrusion contacts (N505A/N505AS) for commercial doors.
• Overhead door / track mounts: flip/rail‑mount sets (e.g., N505AUTM) for garage and industrial doors.
• Wide‑gap and gate switches: solutions for larger separations and moving gates.
• High‑security / balanced magnetic contacts: magnet circuits and designs to reduce dead spots and meet higher security needs.
• Magnets and accessories: NdFeB and alnico magnets, brackets, covers and end‑of‑line resistor options.

Common applications

Nascom products are used in commercial and residential alarm systems, access control, overhead and rolling doors in warehouses, gate installations, asset protection for HVAC and outdoor equipment, and OEM assemblies where small reed switches or strong magnets are required.

Key part‑number and configuration cues

Nascom part numbers are configurable and include indications for family, color, loop/circuit type, built‑in resistor, mounting and lead length. Examples: “ST” = switch/magnet set; “SW” = switch only; color codes (W, BLK, G, T); circuit flags such as FB (open loop), SD (SPDT) and HS (high security); numeric codes for lead length in inches; and explicit resistor codes. These designators are documented by the manufacturer and help match legacy units or order replacements.

How Safsale helps procurement, contractors and maintenance teams

Safsale aggregates Nascom SKUs with product images and downloadable datasheets so buyers can search by part number or family, compare photos for mounting style, review spec PDFs for operate‑gap and electrical ratings, and use filters to find compatible brackets, magnets and accessory options. Buyer reviews and Q&A on listings provide installer insights that reduce mis‑orders.

Sourcing and replacement checklist

• Verify mounting style and physical dimensions against the installed location.
• Confirm operate gap and magnet type for reliable actuation.
• Check loop type, wiring configuration and any required EOL resistor values for the alarm panel.
• Match lead type and length (zipcord vs. UL1061 vs. armored) for routing and compliance.
• Assess environmental exposure and bracket compatibility for gates or exterior doors.

Compare the manufacturer datasheet and, where possible, bench‑test samples before bulk procurement. Safsale lists Nascom products with spec sheets and images to simplify model identification and replacement selection.
