Keep yourself and your employees safe with this microswitch from RS PRO. It can be used to prevent machinery from turning on or doors from closing when needed. A single pole, double throw contact configuration (SPDT) allows you to switch between two circuits.

This safety device has a positive snap action which allows it to react quickly to the slightest pressure. The contacts on the switch are silver-plated for optimal conductivity and durability. It's also easy to assemble thanks to the quick-connect terminals. A hardwearing, glass-filled thermoplastic housing provides the kind of strength needed for industrial environments.

As part of the tried and tested RS PRO range, this microswitch has undergone stringent quality controls to ensure consistency. It conforms to the IEC 1058-1 standard as a safe switch and meets European CE safety standards. This type of switch is found in telecommunications equipment, vending machines and car doors.
