Product Description

Honeywell's MICRO SWITCH™ GSS Series electromechanical safety switches are comprised of different groups of safety switches designed to either EN50041 or EN50047 standards. GSS Series safety switches are agency certified for global applications, and feature positive opening normally closed contacts . The switch's red body color easily identifies the switch for safety applications. Although these switches are designed for safety applications, they can also be applied in non-safety applications.
 

The GSA Series metal limit switches are designed to the EN50041 standard with the 30 mm x 60 mm mounting pattern. Available with up to four contacts and a variety of actuator heads, the GSA Series limit switches are suitable for a wide variety of applications.
 

The GSC Series and GSE Series metal safety switches are designed with an integral hinge lever. The body of the switch is designed to the EN50047 standard with 20 mm to 22 mm mounting. For applications requiring a similar safety switch to the EN50047 standard with a high-strength thermoplastic housing and the integral hinge lever, the GSD Series safety switch can fill the need for this requirement. Where there is limited space on equipment or machinery, the GSC and GSD Series switches with the smaller housing are the preferred solution. As an alternative, the GSC, GSD, and GSE Series can be supplied with the traditional style of side rotary lever or top plunger actuation.
