Product Description:

The Danaher EA170-12100 is a reliable Snaplock Limit Switch designed for industrial use. The current limiting switch has a continuous current rating of 5.0 A, at a voltage of 600 V/dc. The current rating also means that the switch can handle high currents without getting too hot. It is appropriate for applications where precise control of mechanical motions is required besides the flexible electrical connections. With the 600 V input, the EA170-12100 is suitable for various industrial devices, and its advanced characteristics ensure reliable and long-term operation.

One of the important features of this switch is the power factor which ranges between 75% and 100%. A higher power factor means that the switch is drawing electrical energy efficiently and reducing energy wastage with a high level of efficiency of the electrical system. The power factor of the switch ranges from 75% to 100%, meaning that the amount of reactive power loss is considerably low which is preferable for constant use in challenging industrial conditions. This high efficiency contributes to the minimization of operational costs while improving its operation, especially when working under different loads.

The EA170-12100 is made of zinc/aluminum with zinc plating for protection against corrosion. This construction is necessary for a switch to perform well in unfriendly conditions where it is exposed to moisture, dust or oils. The switch is according to NEMA Types 1, 4, and 13 standards, meaning it is sealed against dust, water and oil. These NEMA ratings make the EA170-12100 ideal for places where the tough climate affects the functionality of switches. High reliability and performance are an important factor in any industry, thus EA170-12100 is built from strong material and it has adequate protection features for industrial use.
