RS PRO Plunger Micro Switch, Screw Terminal, 15 A @ 250 V ac, SP-CO, IP54 / 7972501

RS PRO SP-CO Plunger Microswitch, 15 A @ 250 V ACMicroswitches are commonly used as safety devices, opening up circuits when needed to prevent a machine being turned on, for example. This plunger-operated microswitch is from our RS PRO range. It has a single-pole changeover configuration so you can use it to switch between two electrical circuits. These kinds of devices are common in the home and industrial settings. The snap-acting switch is housed in a robust metal casing. Its M3 screw terminals are located in 3.96 mm-wide wiring channels and protected by a removable, insulated cover plate. Fine silver contacts offer excellent conductivity, while the beryllium copper trident spring operating mechanism resists corrosion. The switch conforms to IEC 1058-1 as a safe and reliable switch. Its IP54-rated for protection against dust and accidental splashes. This kind of microswitch is commonly used as a safety switch on automatic doors or in industrial control circuits.Features and Benefits• Microswitch • 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.
