General Information:
MICROSWITCH standard basic switches are precision snap-action mechanisms enclosed in accurately molded plastic cases. These switches are carefully manufactured and thoroughly inspected. They are industry-known for their compactness, light weight, accurate repeatability and long life.

BZ/BA Series Standard Basic Switches are used for simple on/off applications and meet the needs of most applications. However, modifications of contact design and material, spring configuration and plunger location create other types with greater electrical load handling capacity. Other changes in materials and switch design provide operating characteristics; temperature tolerances and sealing that cover a wide range of special requirements, for example;

SM Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision on/off application needs. These switches combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, precision operation and long life.

SX Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision on/off application needs. They are small, precision snap-action switches that are ideal where savings in space and weight are important.

UM Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision ON/OFF application needs. These switches combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, low cost and long life.

UX Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision on/off application needs. These are small, low-cost snap-action switches which are ideal where savings in space and weight are important.

V5 and V7 Series Basic Switches are used for simple or precision on/off, end of limit, presence/absence, pressure, temperature and manual operator interface application needs.

ZM Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision ON/OFF application needs. These switches combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, low cost and long life.

ZW Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision ON/OFF application needs. These switches combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, low cost and long life.

ZX Series Subminiature Basic Switches are used for simple or precision ON/OFF application needs. These switches combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, low cost and long life
