Additional Details
The IP100C series of switches come in various actuator styles to suit specific applications. These switches are typically rated for both AC and DC voltage operation. Contact ratings vary depending on the specific model, but are generally in the range of 10-20 Amps. The housing materials are chosen for resistance to corrosion, impact, and temperature extremes. The snap-action mechanism ensures a positive and repeatable switching action. Often used in applications requiring precise and reliable position or limit sensing. Installation is typically through screw terminals or quick-connect terminals.
