602EN601-6

Snap action, limit switches are a type of contact switch with two mechanical actions. The moving contact of the switch either opens or closes when it is actuated by an external force, or when an internal force overcomes the frictional resistance of the switch housing.Once activated, the switch stays in the new state until changed by another force. In this application, the switch will not operate further until it is changed.

The 602EN601-6 is a type of snap-action, limit switch specifically designed for use in the conventional heating and cooling industries. Built with a unique combination of UL-listed components, the 602EN601-6 is an attractive, economical and reliable option for a wide range of applications.

The 602EN601-6 switch is a two-state switch; either open or closed. It has two main components: a positive mechanical action device, and a normally open (NO) electrical contact.

The mechanism consists of a detachable electrical contact, which has a high contact pressure rating and is enclosed in a durable plastic or metal housing. The contact slides into the switch when it is actuated, making the electrical contact. The contact can then be opened or closed, depending on the type of the switch.

The positive mechanical device of the 602EN601-6 is actuated when an external force moves the contact stem of the switch over its stroke length. This movement causes the internal springs to compress, energizing the contact, and the contact then slides into the housing, making an electrical contact.

Once the contact is made, the external force must be re-applied in order to open or close the switch. A unique feature of the 602EN601-6 is a safety latch, which holds the contact in position during operation. This latch prevents accidental switching during operation.

The 602EN601-6 snap-action, limit switch is a reliable, economical choice for applications in the conventional heating and cooling industries. It is designed for easy installation and is robust enough to resist corrosion, heat, cold and dust. The contact pressure ratings are high, ensuring a secure and reliable connection over long periods of time.
