Molded Terminal Models
(Not Approved by UL, CSA, or EN)
Use of the molded terminal model is recommended in locations
subject to excessive dust, oil drips, or moisture.
All types of ZC Switches can be fabricated into a molded terminal
version. In this case, the molded terminal model will have the same
dimensions and operating characteristics as the basic model from
which the molded terminal model is fabricated.
Terminal Protective Cover, Seal Rubber, and
Rubber Packing
