Product catalog summary
Overview: The Series S847 snap-action switches are engineered for high reliability and safety, suitable for railway engineering and industrial systems. They feature wiping, galvanically isolated, double-break contacts, and positive opening operation.
Features: The S847 series includes standard push buttons and auxiliary roller levers, VDE approved, with positive opening operation to ensure functionality even if contacts are welded. They are dust and moisture protected with IP40, IP60, and IP67 ratings, suitable for low current and voltage applications with fast switching capabilities.
Specifications: These switches have a Form Z-SPDT-DB contact configuration, rated insulation voltage of 400V (IEC) and 300V (UL), support a conventional thermal current of 10A, and have a mechanical endurance of up to 10 million cycles. Contact materials include silver or silver with gold plating.
Applications: Ideal for safety limit switches in control circuits, machine and plant control systems, and vehicle door controls, designed for systems requiring high safety and reliability.
Mounting and Terminals: Options for front or side mounting with M3 screws, flat tabs, or leads. Proper mounting and safety instructions are essential for optimal performance and longevity.
Standards: Compliance with IEC 60947, UL508, and IEC 60529 standards.
Ordering Information: Various configurations available based on IP ratings, actuator styles, and terminal types. Custom designs available upon request, subject to minimum quantity requirements.
Safety Instructions: Avoid incompatible chemicals with polycarbonate, conduct regular inspections, and replace defective parts immediately.
Snap-action Switches: Designed for actuation with or without a roller lever; a roller lever is necessary if actuation direction deviates more than ±15° from the plunger axis.
Disc Distance Specifications: 40 mm: 3.6 mm; 60 mm: 0 mm; 100 mm (max.): 0 mm.
Product Offerings: Includes connectors, snap-action switches, contactors, and electrics for rolling stock, with custom solutions available.
Certifications: RoHS compliance, IRIS certified since 2008, DIN EN ISO 14001 certified since 2002, DIN EN ISO 9001 certified since 1994.
