Interlock / Safety Switches

Safety Switches prevent access.

Hinge-style Safety Interlock Switches are integrated and encapsulated into load-bearing hinge to provide protection from tampering. Components are concealed inside hinge to prevent access and provide protection from mechanical impact and washdown. Applications include hinged machine covers, doors, gates, and safety fencing systems. Switches have IEC IP67 rating, IEC 60947-5-1 positive-opening...

Interlock / Safety Switches

Reed Switch suits compact environments.

Potted switch, with Celanex housing, measures 0.145 in. dia x 0.450 in. long. Single-pole, single-throw, normally open contact is rated for 10 W, 400 mA, and 170 Vdc. Magnetic field senses position of object and causes contact to open or close. Reed switch provides high speed switching with no mechanical wear, and requires no supply voltage for operation.
