Panel-mount snap-action limit switch

The Square D snap-action limit switch is a panel-mount plunger device rated for 6 A at 480 V AC and 0.1 A at 600 V DC. Its 1NC/1NO contact form suits industrial control circuits that need a single-pole changeover function. The switch measures 2.2 in high, 2.5 in wide and 0.83 in deep. Screw terminals provide the electrical connection.

Upgrading from non-snap or lower-rated contacts

This switch replaces slower-acting or lower-voltage contacts in safety interlocks, machine guards or limit-stop applications. The jump is worth it when the circuit demands a positive snap action at 480 V AC or 600 V DC and a compact 2.13 in centre mounting footprint. It is not for circuits that require multi-pole switching, sealed-environment ratings or wireless signalling.

Straightforward screw-terminal wiring

Installation consists of mounting the body on 2.13 in centres and landing wires under the screw terminals. The plunger actuator must align with the target travel to avoid missed actuation or mechanical binding. Common issues include over-tightening terminal screws, which can crack the housing, and debris fouling the plunger bore in dusty environments.

Questions about this item

What panel cut-out spacing do I need for the 2.13 in mounting centres?

Drill two holes on 2.13 in centres to match the switch mounting pattern.

Which terminals accept the screw connections for the 6 A 480 V AC rating?

Wire the screw terminals; the snap-action mechanism engages automatically when the plunger is depressed.

How often should I check the plunger travel on this 2.2 in high switch?

Inspect plunger movement and contact integrity during routine panel maintenance; replace if travel feels gritty or contacts show pitting.
