Limit switch for military, rail and air applications

Description

The Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ Series of EN limit switches are bushing mount designed, manufactured, and qualified to MIL-PRF-8805 standards. These products provide a durable switch for commercial and military aircraft as well as commercial and military ground-based equipment. Other applications include off-road equipment where severe environments are encountered.
The EN Series of switches have proven to deliver consistent and reliable operation in harsh environments on critical applications for more than 65 years.

EN limit switches features

• Circuitry options from 1PST (one-pole single throw) circuit to 6PDT (six-pole double throw) circuits for position indication of different independent circuits or providing redundant circuit capabilities;
• Rugged stainless steel housing and bushing;
• All-metal drive train for consistent operating characteristics at high or low temperatures;
• Most EN catalog listings are MIL-PRF-8805 compliant for stringent military and non-military applications;
• MIL-PRF-8805 symbol 4 (resilient) sealing to keep dust, water, and ice from entering the switch enclosure;
• Gold-bifurcated, gold-plated, or silver-alloy switch contacts for reliably controlling electrical loads from less than 0.5 A [low energy/logic level] up to 15 A (power duty);
• Wide temperature range from -54 °C to 125 °C [-65 °F to 257 °F] for sea level or high altitude military or commercial applications;
• Miniature package size [400EN Series and 600EN Series] reduces housing diameter by 30 % for smaller space required on equipment.

Examples of applications

• Landing gear systems for commercial and military aircraft including helicopters;
• External doors and hatches for commercial and military aircraft including helicopters;
• Military ground vehicles;
• Off-road construction equipment;
