Miniature SPDT Limit Switch

This Dayton miniature limit switch uses a sealed plunger actuator mounted on the top face. It carries a single-pole double-throw contact rated at 10 A for both AC and DC circuits at 300 V. The body measures 1.97 in high by 1.57 in wide by 0.63 in deep and meets NEMA 12 13 4 6 and 6P ratings for surface mounting.

Sealed actuator and NEMA ratings

The boot-sealed plunger prevents dust and moisture ingress, satisfying NEMA 4 6 and 6P requirements for wash-down and temporary submersion. NEMA 12 and 13 add protection against circulating dust and oil or coolant spray. These ratings mean the switch operates reliably in wet or oily industrial environments without additional enclosures.

Continuous 10 A load handling

The contact assembly is rated for a steady 10 A at 300 V on both AC and DC supplies, so sustained current does not derate the switch. The sealed construction maintains consistent actuation force over long cycles, and the NEMA 6P rating confirms the housing withstands prolonged exposure to water jets. The switch is not suited for loads exceeding 10 A or voltages above 300 V.

Questions about this item

How is the sealed plunger limit switch mounted, and what step is often missed?

The switch uses surface mounting with a 1.57 in wide body; the step often missed is verifying the 1.97 in height clearance before drilling holes.

What maintenance or replacement will the sealed plunger need over time?

The boot-sealed plunger resists ingress per NEMA 4, 6, 6P, 12, 13; inspect the seal annually and replace the switch if the plunger action becomes stiff or inconsistent.

What limit appears first when the switch runs continuously at its 10 A 300 V rating?

The 10 A contact rating at 300 V AC or DC is the limiting factor; sustained loads at this level will reach the switch's electrical endurance before mechanical wear.
