Safety Interlock Switches
MA Series
Magnetically Actuated
Safety Interlock Switches
• Large selection—choose from a large selection of contact configurations
housed in plastic to satisfy most application requirements
• NEMA 6 enclosure enables the MA Series switches to satisfy most
application requirements (MA 3, 4, 5 are NEMA 4)
• Misalignment tolerant—the non-contact actuation of the switches makes
them very tolerant to misalignment of up to 10 mm (0.39 in.)
• Variety of terminations—select various cable lengths or terminal strip
termination for easy installation. Cable connector on selected models.
• Long life—the MA Series is designed for a minimum of one million actuations
• A Rapid Delivery Product: Select models are available for shipment today or within 3 to 5 days

Encapsulated in the MA Series
is a unique high-power industrial
reed which is de-rated by a
non-resetable overload protection
circuit depending on switch type.
On presenting the actuator to the
switch, the high intensity magnetic
field from the actuator causes the
contacts to close. On removing the
actuator (opening the door), the
safety contacts open, isolating the
machine.

It is advisable, where possible, to
mount the switch and actuator on
non-ferrous materials otherwise it
may affect the operating distances.
