GENERAL INFORMATION
MICRO SWITCH standard basic switches
are precision snap-action mechanisms
enclosed in accurately molded plastic
cases. These switches are carefully man-
ufactured and thoroughly inspected.
They are industry known for their com-
pactness, light weight, accurate repeata-
bility and long life.
MOUNTING DIMENSIONS
Mounting dimensions are included at the
end of each product section. They are
shown in English and metric equivalents.
These dimensions are for reference only.
For exacting layout work, request an engi-
neering layout work, request an engineer-
ing drawing from the 800 number.
Mounting holes for Types BZ, BM, BA, BE,
DT, MT, and 6AS switches accept pins or
screws of .139 inch (3,53 mm) diameter.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE (max.)
Mounting screws . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 in./lbs.*
Terminal screws . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 in./lbs.
Panel mount bushing . . . . . . . 4-6 in./lbs.
* Note: Tightening mounting screws
above 3 in./lbs. changes operat-
ing characteristics and increases
the possibility of cracking the
case.
The type BZ switch design meets most
applications needs. Modifications of the
standard silver contact design and mate-
rial, spring configuration, and plunger lo-
cations give the type BM, BA and BE
switches greater electrical load handling
capacity. Other changes in materials and
switch design provide operating charac-
teristics, temperature tolerances, and
sealing to cover a wide range of special
requirements.
