RS PRO Plunger Micro Switch, Pre-wired Terminal, 15 A @ 250 V ac, SPDT, IP54

RS PRO SP-NO/NC Plunger Microswitch, 15 A @ 250 V ACCommon in the home as well as industrial premises, microswitches are often used as safety devices. The single-pole changeover on the RS PRO microswitch lets you use it to switch between two electrical circuits. For example, a popular use is opening up circuits when needed to prevent a machine being turned on. The snap-acting switch is protected by a robust metal casing. Protected by a detachable, insulated cover plate, the M3 screw terminals are located in 3.96 mm wide wiring channels. The beryllium copper trident spring operating mechanism is corrosion-resistant, and the fine silver contacts ensure high conductivity. IP54-rated for protection against dust and accidental splashes, this unit conforms to IEC 1058-1 as a reliable, safe switch. Frequent uses for this type of microswitch include safety switches on automatic doors or in industrial control circuits.Features and Benefits• Microswitch • Contact configuration SP-NO/NC • Plunger type actuator • Single-pole, changeover configuration • Snap-action means the speed of travel of the contacts does not rely on the speed of actuation • Robust metal casing is IP54-rated for resistance against dust and splashes • Fine silver contacts offer excellent conductivity • Screw terminal • Contact current rating of 15 A at 250 V AC • Operating force of 723 gms • Release force of 170 gf • Maximum overtravel of 4.6 mm • Maximum pretravel of 1.5 mm • Maximum movement differential of 0.08 mm • Mechanical life of 1,000,000 operations • Conforms to IEC 1058-1 standard as a safe and effective switch • Conforms to ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 Electrostatic Control Standards • RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliantRS PRORS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
