Can a metal stem be bent ? May 2, 2018 5:13:36 GMT -5

Hello,
I'm currently looking for a replacement solution to an old broken hall sensor
One of my favorite solution would use a MMT-6J0x-VG BUT

x should be 6" or even better 5'' (4" is too short, 8" is too long !)
The metal stem should be bent 90° with a reasonable radius (e;g 5mm)

What is your feeling concerning those 2 requests ?
If feasible what would be the extra-cost & delivery time to fullfill them (rule of thumb) ?
Thank you for a quick answer
WBR

Hello Philae,

I apologize for the delayed response as we did not receive a notification when you posted this question.

First, it is not possible to bend a metal stem probe as the wiring inside the stem is encased in epoxy and does not include any slack, therefore, if you attempt to bend the probe, most likely, the wiring will break.

Designing a probe that is not a standard length we offer or possibly making one with a 90 degree bend would be considered a custom probe and you would need to contact one of our sales representatives to start that process. The extra cost and delivery time would depend on the final design so I cannot give you an estimate at this time.
