DESCRIPTION
Accurate, reliable, and repeatable, Honeywell MICRO SWITCH
BZ/BA/VBM/BE Premium Series switches are designed and
manufactured for a wide variety of applications with over 75
years of experience. The internal flat-spring design is ideal
for applications requiring precision switch characteristics
and long life. These precision switches are available with
differential travel less than 0,0254 mm [0.001 in].
Catalog listings within these Series of switches are available
to control a wide range of electrical loads from logic level to
power duty switching coupled with a wide variety of integral
actuators. A variety of electrical connections are available to
match the application requirements. These Series of switches
fit the standard 25,4 mm [1.00 in] mounting centers. Select
catalog listings are available with a threaded plunger bushing
panel mounting. Auxiliary actuators are available to increase
the flexibility of the Premium Series switches as well as metal
or plastic enclosures where required. These switches can
be supplied factory gang–mounted (two switches) with an
integral actuator for double pole applications or other circuit
applications.
Most of these switch Series have agency certifications for
global applications. In addition, select catalog listings are
qualified to MILPRF8805 for military applications.
