Honeywell Plunger Microswitch, NO/NC, 16A - BZ Series - BZ-2RQ1M-A2
This microswitch from Honeywell is used to open or close a circuit. It has a snap-action mechanism for a fast response time and is housed in a moulded plastic casing for protection against impact. Its spring-loaded lever detects movement in an assembly device and closes the internal contacts in the unit to provide fast, reliable current switching. The switch is designed for devices with low-level currents and voltage, with a maximum current rating of 16A at 250V AC (alternating current). The terminal's mounting holes accept both pins and screws, making it simple to adapt to your application.
