Honeywell 84826 Series Key Switch, 20A Switch Contact Current, 12V Contact DC Voltage - 84826-01


This key switch provides secure, keyed control for electrical systems where three distinct positions are required. Designed for panel mounting with a circular bezel and a straight key, it offers a simple Off‑On‑Start operating sequence suitable for equipment and vehicle control panels. The unit is intended for use in professional automation and electrical environments that require reliable manual switching and keyed access.

Features and Benefits:


• Round bezel with 45° key index permits clear positional feedback
• Brass contacts carry 20A for high-current load switching
• Three-position operation supports Off‑On‑Start functionality
• Accepts 12V DC contact voltage for low-voltage systems
• Nylon and polypropylene body resists mechanical wear at interfaces
• Mechanical durability rated to 25,000 cycles for frequent use

Applications


• Suitable for ignition control in small engine systems and vehicles
• Ideal for access-controlled power switching on control panels
• Used with low-voltage DC circuits in automation equipment
• Can be used for starter control in mobile machinery

What electrical connection style does it use for wiring?


It uses Metri‑Pack style terminals which provide sealed, reliable mating with compatible connector housings for straightforward harness integration.

What temperature range will it operate within?


It functions across a broad ambient range from −40°C up to 85°C suitable for varied indoor and outdoor installations.

How are the switch contacts constructed?


Contact surfaces are formed from brass to ensure good conductivity and consistent current transfer under load.

What is the expected lifecycle in repetitive switching applications?


The mechanism is rated for 25,000 mechanical cycles, giving quantifiable service life for designs requiring frequent actuation.

Are there environmental or material restrictions to consider?


The materials include nylon and polypropylene for the housing and the product conforms to RoHS restrictions on certain hazardous substances.
