Honeywell is pleased to announce its new MICRO SWITCH Compact Limit Switches, NGC Series, used for position detection. The addition of the NGC Series to Honeywell’s limit switch portfolio allows for a single supplier for both SPDT (single pole double throw) and DPDT (double pole double throw) compact medium duty limit switches. This provides customers with another position detection option within the Honeywell portfolio, which can enable the OEM to standardize on a single supplier.
FEATURES
- SPDT or DPDT configurable circuitry
- Silver alloy and gold plated contact options
- Metal and plastic housing options
- Cable and connector terminations
- Variety of heads and actuator levers
- Snap-action, positive-break contacts
- UL, CE, cUL, and CCC approvals
- NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
- IP67 sealing
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
- Cost-effective: Provides a single source for a SPDT and DPDT compact limit switch, which can help minimize the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s sourcing expenses by simplifying their supply chain
- Versatile: Durable packaging allows for use in many harsh indoor or outdoor applications, providing performance confidence
- Application support: Customers with a global footprint can count on Honeywell for regional support for new applications and troubleshooting
- Configurable: Allows design engineers to standardize on a single footprint while meeting a variety of electrical requirements
DIFFERENTIATION
- Two times the vibration (10 g) and shock (50 g) ratings of comparable competitive devices allow for potential use in harsh environmental conditions, providing enhanced reliability and repeatability
- Broader current capacity (up to 10 A) than comparable devices allows for potential use in a wider set of applications, making platform standardization an easier task
