ENVIRONMENT-FREE SEALED
SEALED AGAINST IMMERSION & CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES
SEALED LIMIT
SWITCHES
P6
P6 series switches are sealed against immersion and corrosive
atmospheres. These switches are designed for rugged duty both
mechanically and electrically. A one-piece stainless steel or
nickel plated brass housing, sealed at the plunger with an O-ring
seal and at the base with a glass-to-metal header option provides
true environment-free sealing to comply with MIL-PRF-8805/39,
MIL-PRF-8805/40, MIL-PRF-8805/43, MIL-PRF-8805/100 and MIL-
PRF-8805/104. Most case parts are grounded for EMI reduction.
The P6 series is available with roller plunger styles for cam or
slide actuation and pin plunger for in-line actuation. Contact
factory for additional designs.
P6 series features the OTTO B2, B3 or B5 series snap-action
basic switch. High contact pressure and unique contact design
provides low contact resistance for low level switching as well
as full rated service.
