MICRO SWITCH™ V15 Series
Standard Basic Switches
Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH™ V-Basic Standard Switch, V15 Series is an electromechanical switch designed to
provide outstanding value in a reliable global package. This switch is often ideal for “low-cost-of-failure” applications,
where the cost is minimal to replace or service any failure related to the switch. With a wide variety of operating forces,
and amperage ratings, the V15 is designed for numerous types of applications.
Available in both pin plunger and levered styles, the V15 Series also offers a multitude of termination styles to fit almost
any application.
What makes our switches better?
Wide choice of electrical ratings: 0.1 A, 5 A, 10 A, 16 A,
22 A, 26 A
Certified for global use: UL/cUL, ENEC, CQC
Available with pin plungers or integral levers to meet multiple
application and equipment requirements
Features
and Benefits
BROAD RANGE OF ELECTRICAL LOADS
Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH™ V15 Series offers a broad range of electrical
loads (0.1
A, 5 A, 10 A, 16 A, 22 A, 26 A)
while maintaining precision operation
and application versatility. V15 Series has a long service life of over
one million
mechanical actuations.
Six load ratings! 13 terminations!
APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY
V15 Series switches perform a variety of functions as well as offering a choice of
actuation, termination, and operating characteristics that can allow for flexibility in
numerous types of applications.
SAVES TIME
With a broad current capacity, one switch package can control a wide range
of electrical loads. As requirements vary for applications, a standardized switch
package with multiple choice of actuators may help minimize costs and may
streamline the assembly process by allowing for increased flexibility within some
applications. Gold contacts are also available for controlling logic level/low energy
circuits.

Potential Applications
VENDING MACHINESI
Serves as a snack dispenser limit switch, a snack selection switch, and/or a drink
machine valve motor cam switch
GAMING MACHINE
Often used for slot machine lever position, pinball lever switch, or in determing an
arcade joystick lever position
APPLIANCES
Used in water conditioner timer mechanisms, a control panel cover lock out, and
signals valve position that softener regeneration is in progress. May also be used to
indicate water pressure, float level, and door position in commercial appliances
ICE MAKERS
Indicates ice cube tray position, controls the water inlet valve, and used as a cycle
complete switch. May also be used in the ice cube or water dispenser mechanism
FURNACES
May be used in a furnace’s pressure switch to prevent overpressure in the
combustion chamber or backpressure in the exhaust line from an obstruction
POWER WASHERS
Often used to prevent seal blowout due to overpressure in water pumps
