FEATURES
• Subminiature package size (19,80 mm x 10,60 mm x 6,40
mm [0.78 in x 0.42 in x 0.25 in])
• Well suited for power-duty and logic-level loads
• SPDT, SPNC, or SPNO switch options
• Power duty switching with silver alloy contacts
• Gold-plated, silver alloy contacts for logic-level control
• Pin plunger and various stainless steel lever options,
including internal and external mount levers
• Variety of electrical terminations
• Certified per UL, cUL to UL 61058-1, ENEC to IEC 61058-1,
and CQC to GB 15092.1
DESCRIPTION
MICRO SWITCH ZM and ZM1 Series are subminiature snap
action switches from the Honeywell MICRO SWITCH family of
Z Series subminiature basic switches. Although small in size,
the ZM and ZM1 Series are rated for controlling electrical loads
ranging from logic level (computer based circuits) to power
duty switching (up to 16.1 A and 250 Vac).
The package size of the subminiature switch is ideal for
applications where space on the equipment is at a premium.
The overall length of the ZM and ZM1 Series are less than 20
mm [0.78 in]. As with all snap-action switches, the audible click
when actuated promotes ease of installation and set-up of the
switches. A wide variety of integral stainless steel levers are
available and when combined with the subminiature package
size, may adapt the switch to a wide variety of applications.
The ZM Series is agency certified to UL, cUL, CE, and CQC for
worldwide use, while the ZM1 Series is agency certified to UL,
cUL, ENEC, and CQC for worldwide use.
DIFFERENTIATION
• Temperature ranges from -40 °C to 125 °C [-40 °F to
257 °F] typically allows for years of reliable performance
in harsh conditions
• Choice of internal switch mechanism: ZM Series with coil
spring design for increased mechanical life or ZM1 Series
with flat spring design for increased electrical rating
• Current carrying capacity, up to 16.1 A (ZM1 Series), typically
allows for a solution in many applications where space is a
premium
• Wide variety of electrical ratings, integral actuators, and
electrical terminations to facilitate integration into control
and/or monitoring circuits
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
Copy machines
Cash registers: Senses drawer open or closed
Refrigerators
HVAC
Hospital beds
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Subminature size is a solution for applications where space
is a premium
• Internal permanent levers and external levers for field
configurability
PORTFOLIO
