RS PRO Plunger Micro Switch, Screw Terminal, 15A, 250 V AC, SPCO, IP54 797-2501

RS PRO 797-2501 Plunger Micro Switch is a high-quality snap-action switch designed for reliable safety and control in industrial and commercial electrical applications. Featuring a durable metal housing rated at IP54, it offers robust resistance against dust ingress and accidental water splashes, making it suitable for harsh environments.

This micro switch is equipped with a plunger actuator and screw terminals using M3 screws housed in 3.96 mm-wide wiring channels protected by an insulated cover plate, ensuring secure and stable electrical connections. The fine silver contacts ensure excellent electrical conductivity while the beryllium copper trident spring operating mechanism resists corrosion, maintaining consistent performance over time.

The switch is capable of handling a contact current rating of 15A at 250 V AC with a single-pole changeover (SPCO) contact configuration, enabling it to safely switch between two circuits. Mechanical life is rated up to 1,000,000 operations, reflecting high durability for continuous industrial usage. It conforms to IEC 1058-1 safety standards and is compliant with electrostatic discharge control standards ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007, adding further reliability in sensitive environments.

Operating force is 723 grams with a release force of 170 grams-force, featuring maximum overtravel and pretravel limits for precise actuation. Its ambient temperature tolerance spans from -10°C to 70°C, supporting a wide range of operating conditions. This Micro Switch is commonly used as a safety device on automatic doors, industrial control systems, and machinery to prevent accidental operation and ensure personnel safety.

The plunger actuator provides precise and repeatable switching. Robust metal casing with IP54 protection enhances durability in industrial environments. SPCO contact configuration enables switching between two electrical circuits.

Fine silver contacts ensure excellent conductivity with corrosion resistance. Screw terminals allow secure wiring connections with insulated cover protection. Rated for 15A contact current at 250 V AC for demanding electrical loads.
