Safety interlock with trapped-key logic
The Omron A22TK-2RR-03-02 is a trapped-key safety selector switch designed to prevent operators from being trapped inside hazardous areas during maintenance. The key is released only when the switch is in the right-hand position, and the normally-closed contacts (TPST-NC) open in that same position, breaking the safety circuit. This mechanical interlock ensures the machine cannot re-energize while the key is removed and the guard is open. The 22 mm diameter round panel cutout matches the standard A22 mounting hole, and the IP65 enclosure rating means the switch body withstands washdown and dust ingress — suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, or general wet-area guarding applications.
