New T85 Snap-Action Switches Meet IEC 60335-1 Requirements

Press Release Summary:

  • Offer increased tracking resistance of PTI 300, a high functional reliability, and excellent switching precision
  • Uses contact materials for switching currents from 0.1A up to 21A at 250VAC that offer superior contact reliability
  • Come in black plastic material that are halogen-free and flame retardant

Original Press Release:

New Halogen-Free, Flame Retardant Microswitches

ZF Electronic Systems presents its proven D4 series of snap-action switches with new halogen-free flame retardants, which now meet the harmonized UL/EN 61058 standards.

Refrigerators, Freezers and Air Condition equipment are now employing a more environmentally friendly refrigerant, however this new refrigerant is flammable. Therefore a special “certification” / approval is necessary--> “Ex proof”

The NEW T85 version of the D4 series snap-action switches with black plastic material give an improved environmental performance, and are future-proof to growing customer requirements and compliance.

The D4 series snap-action switches benefit from an increased tracking resistance of PTI 300, a high functional reliability, and excellent switching precision. Using application-specific contact materials for switching currents from 0.1A up to 21A at 250VAC, the switches offer superior contact reliability. Due to several available actuators and mounting points, the devices will prove suitable for many different applications.

The switches conform with IEC 60335-1 requirements: GWFI at 850°C, GWIT at 775°C and GWT 750°C. They have been designed to operate over an ambient temperature range from -40 up to +150°C.
