Enclosure rating and deployment context
Rated NEMA 1/2/4/6/12/13 and IP66/IP67 — the housing withstands hose-directed water, temporary submersion, and dust ingress, making it suitable for washdown environments in food processing, outdoor conveyor lines, and machine tool coolant areas. The wide plastic body resists corrosion and impact better than painted metal in caustic or humid atmospheres — a common spec for chemical plants and marine-adjacent installations.
Contact ratings — AC vs DC derating matters
Rated 240 VAC 10 A and 250 VDC 0.27 A — the DC rating drops sharply because DC arcs do not self-extinguish at zero crossing. For a 24 VDC control circuit the switch handles the full 10 A resistive; at 250 VDC the 0.27 A limit governs inductive loads like DC solenoid valves. The 1NO-1NC slow make/break contact configuration provides positive break on the NC channel — required by EN/IEC 60947-5-1 for safety interlock circuits where the NC contact must open even if welded.
Approvals and applicable standards
UL 508 listed and CSA C22.2 certified for North American industrial control panels; also complies with EN/IEC 60204-1 and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 for European machinery — covers the two major regulatory frameworks without additional component-level testing. Operating temperature range -13 to 158 °F (-25 to 70 °C) covers most indoor industrial environments and unheated outdoor enclosures in temperate climates.
Actuator and connection details
Thermoplastic roller lever actuator — the roller follows cam profiles or machine slides without wearing the lever; the thermoplastic head resists cracking in cold environments better than phenolic. 1/2 inch NPT conduit entry with screw-clamp terminals — standard North American trade size for rigid or flexible metal conduit; the screw clamps accept up to 14 AWG stranded without ferrules.
