The BZ series of switches feature a long mechanical life of up to 20,000,000 cycles at 95% survival and also have a choice of actuation, termination and operating characteristics.

Low operating force and differential travel
Elongated mounting hole for easier, more accurate mounting
Current rating ranges from 15 A to 25 A
Typical applications include: irrigation systems, timing devices, test instruments and medical/dental equipment

Use this snap-action plunger microswitch from Honeywell to convert mechanical energy into an electrical signal. It features silver contacts that provide good conductivity and ensure a secure connection. It's also housed in a sturdy phenolic case that's resistant to wear and burns, making it a good choice for use in extreme environments. A low operating force of 2.5 to 3.61N means it's sensitive enough to ensure quick response times in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

• Long mechanical life of up to 20,000,000 cycles for long-lasting, reliable performance
• Screw terminals ensure a simple, secure connection without the need for a specialised mating connector
• Wide mounting hole for easier, more precise installation

• Timing devices
• Irrigation systems
• Medical and dental equipment
• Manually operated devices
• Valves

Thanks to its broad operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C, this microswitch is suitable for use in a range of extreme environments. It can also withstand temporary exposure of temperatures up to +204°C, making it a good choice for high-heat applications.
