Product Description

When the application is more complex than a "stand alone" switch can provide, consider the Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ AC Series Door Switch. The Honeywell AC Series switch assembly monitors the position of a service door or panel whether "closed" or "open". The Honeywell AC Series switches are a compact switch assembly designed for equipment applications ranging from vending machine service doors or panels, monitoring doors for truck trailers, and military-related doors and/or panels. When the equipment (door or panel, etc.) which is electrically interlocked through the Honeywell AC Series switch is opened, the action of the AC Series switch disconnects the electrical power. The Honeywell AC Series switch can provide an electrical signal to an annunciator circuit such as a light or horn indicating the door or panel is open. Another feature that is common to most Honeywell AC Series switch assemblies is a "pull-to-override" positionwhich allows the service door to be open and yet apply electrical power through the switch assembly. The "pull-to-override" switch position could be useful for trouble shooting equipment as required.

Honeywell AC Series switch assemblies are available with up to four switch elements which can provide discrete outputs as required for control and/or indicator circuits. 

Features and Benefits

What makes our switches better?

 

Available with Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ V3, V7, SM, SE, or BZ Series switches; there are no exposed contacts

 

Temperature ranges (-40 °C to 85 °C [-40 °F to 185 °F]) allow for reliable performance usage in harsh conditions

 

Many catalog listings have internal threaded actuators that allow customers to attach auxiliary plungers

 

Choice of switch actuation: two position momentary, two position momentary with a twist-latch feature, or a three position with push momentary and pull maintained action

Right form factor combined with the right operating characteristics make a precise combination for door switch applications.
 

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

The switch automatically disconnects electrical power to equipment when service door, panel, or drawer is opened.

CHOICE OF SWITCH ACTUATION

Choose the standard switch assembly with one of three mechanical positions: push-momentary with a pull-to-override maintained position, the two position momentary switch assembly, or the two position switch assembly with a pushmomentary and a push-and-turn-to-latch maintained position.

Enhanced switch offerings

MOUNTING EASE

The switch assembly is designed to be installed as a side mount or end mount for

versatility.

WIDE ELECTRICAL RANGE

Wide range of current from less than 1 A to 21 A to interface with control and

signal circuits.

Tough answer for tough door interlock needs

AGENCY CERTIFICATIONS

Select switch assemblies are certified to CSA and UL component recognition where agency certification is desired or required. When the application involves military requirements, several different styles of AC Series door switches are offered with military specifications.

CIRCUIT FLEXIBILITY

Switch assemblies are available with single throw or double throw action with up to four poles to provide control circuits and optional signal circuits as required.

TERMINATION OPTIONS

Two different types of switch termination (screw or quick connect blades) are available to meet machine design requirements.
