they are rare earth magnets about the size of a quarter. i have the part numbers of them i got from grainger somewhere.
there is a hall effect transducer mounted inside the coach on the place where the locking pins is. it detects when the slide is all the way in by the magnet going directly under it.
the magnets are superglued onto the top of the slide right next to the slide hole.
be careful playing with the magnet because as soon as the hwh controller detects the magnet, those slide pins will come down with hydraulic force. dont ask me how i know
they will punch through the top of the slide like a knife into hot butter
