Honeywell BZE6 Series Limit Switch, 250V Switching DC Voltage, Die Cast Zinc Housing - BZE6-2RQ8


This limit switch provides a Compact electromechanical detection solution for industrial control and automation tasks, using a plunger actuator to register mechanical movement and send a switching signal. It is intended for side-mounted installations in machinery and control panels where a quick-response switching element with snap action is required.

Features and Benefits:


• Snap-action contact for fast, decisive switching
• SPDT contact arrangement for single-circuit changeover capability
• Rated switching voltage supports 250V DC applications
• Die-cast zinc housing offers enhanced mechanical robustness
• Operating force of 3.61N ensures consistent actuation response
• Meets multiple international standards for broad specification compliance

Applications


• Suitable for end-of-travel detection on conveyors and actuators
• Ideal for position sensing in assembly-line equipment
• Used with motor control systems for safety interlocks
• Can be used for limit detection in packaging machinery
• Suitable for retrofit as a replacement plunger switch in industrial installations

What temperature range can I expect reliable operation across?


The device operates reliably between -32°C and 71°C, covering typical industrial ambient conditions.

How does the mounting orientation affect installation?


It is designed for side mounting, so clearance and actuator alignment should be planned accordingly for proper plunger engagement.

Which approvals support its use in regulated projects?


The switch carries EN and IEC recognitions alongside UL, CSA and RoHS markings, indicating adherence to established industry standards.

What are the Basic enclosure characteristics to consider?


The unit provides an IP40 ingress rating and is housed in a die-cast zinc body for physical protection in controlled indoor environments.

How Compact is the unit for panel integration?


The switch occupies a small footprint with a width of 44.4mm and a length of 25.4mm, enabling integration into constrained control assemblies.

Approvals

UL, CSA.
