Safety Interlock Switch (12803)

A universal tongue-operated safety interlock switch is available with stainless steel actuators.Measuring 25 mm (0.98 in.) wide x 82 mm (3.23 in.) long, the T2008 tongue-operated safety interlock switch is designed to provide a minimum of one million actuations in severely space-restricted applications and can be installed on 1-in. square tubing. The T2008 switch comes complete with one normally open and one normally closed, or two normally closed contact configurations to satisfy dual-channel safety monitoring requirements. The T2011 universal tongue-operated safety interlock switch is slightly longer at 25 mm (0.98 in.) wide x 113 mm (3.44 in.) long, but includes two normally closed and one normally open, or 3 normally closed contact configurations to support dual-channel safety monitoring and status monitoring. Being small, yet versatile with a glass-filled thermoplastic housing, allows the T2011 to be used in most applications while providing a minimum of two million actuations. Optionally integrated into either switch, a yellow slide bolt with integral handle and metal construction can help facilitate quick installation, easy recognition and long life on machine guards in the most demanding applications. An optional stainless steel alignment guide can also assist in actuator entry.
