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

RS PRO SP-NO/NC Plunger Microswitch, 15 A @ 250 V AC

Common 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.
