Key and Ignition Switches
Customization is standard with Honeywell’s key and ignition switches. Honeywell’s broad range of product options
make building the specific key switch for an application simple. Optional features of multiple unique key codes,
momentary positions, terminal and integral connector types, UL-ratings, and various circuitry configurations are
available to provide design flexibility. To maintain consistent branding, Honeywell also offers over-molded keys with
custom logos. These options, coupled with the wide electrical rating and temperature range, come standard on every
switch to meet growing customers’ needs.
These rugged and reliable switches increase application reliability and facilitate seamless equipment operation and
control with their ability to keep dirt and moisture out of the contact chamber, thereby prolonging switch life. The two-,
three-, and four position key switch options easily integrate into specific application designs.
Designed to withstand harsh environments with a robust, environmentally sealed design, Honeywell key and ignition
switches are found in the toughest applications, from off-road vehicles like ATVs, snowmobiles, and motorcycles to
agriculture, construction, industrial, and lawn and garden equipment.

Features
and Benefits
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Honeywell key and ignition switches are designed and tested to
withstand a wide
range of environmental conditions and contaminants:
temperature cycling,
chemical splashes, pressure wash, vibration, dust, humidity, and salt. O-rings
protect the contact chamber from moisture and dust while weep holes in the key
cylinder housing facilitate drainage.
IMPROVED DURABILITY
Stainless steel keyhole shroud and keyhole dust shutter add
durability and
corrosion resistance to the key tumbler/cylinder assembly.
The key cover
(key boot) protects key cylinder from dust and ingress.
Form factor! Easily customized for specific applications
ROBUST CONSTRUCTION
Polypropylene plastic housing (rear) improves durability and supports equipment
weight reduction.
WIDE RANGE OF CONFIGURATIONS
Two-, three-, or four-position switches, maintained and momentary (recoil) key
positions, and numerous circuitry configurations allow for customization of
equipment operation and control.
UL certification options
available, as well.
To maintain consistent branding, Honeywell also offers
over molded keys with
custom logos.
MULTIPLE KEY OPTIONS
Double-sided keys allow for
easy key insertion
and switches can be designed to
allow for
key removal in various key positions.
Up to
300 unique key codes
are available to provide increased security and compatibility with existing keys.
CONNECTOR CHOICES
Integral connector (Metri-Pack, Sumitomo): Two-, three-, or four-position switches.
Screw terminal: Two- or three-position switches.
FASTER ASSEMBLY
Integral connectors
facilitate quick assembly
and minimize the potential for
wiring errors.
