Product Description:
The EA170-42100 is a versatile control switch suited for enhancing automation and safety in industrial environments. It functions by detecting and responding to the mechanical movement of equipment components, helping to regulate operations and maintain predefined process parameters. Designed to deliver consistent performance, the switch ensures smooth and reliable interaction between mechanical motion and electrical signaling. The design of this switch model is a NEMA form 'Z' contact arrangement. This design consists of a double-break, single-pole and double-throw (SPDT) contact setup. This arrangement ensures that when one contact is open, the other is closed, providing instantaneous and reliable switching between two circuits.
This control switch supports connections for up to nine conductors, allowing for greater wiring flexibility in complex control circuits. This extensive capacity enables the integration of multiple input and output lines within a single device, simplifying electrical layouts and reducing the need for additional switching components. The switch is suited for standard mounting with a reverse shaft configuration, allowing for flexible integration into different control systems. The reverse shaft setup repositions the actuation mechanism to accommodate alternative layouts, offering users more flexibility during equipment design or retrofitting.
The EA170-42100 control switch has a continuous current rating of 20 amps at 120 VAC, enabling it to handle moderate to high power loads. It can deliver consistent operation in circuits that control motors, relays or other heavy electrical components. The switch comes in a lightweight 4.5 lbs build that offers a balance between structural durability and manageable size. This moderate weight allows for stable mounting in industrial setups without placing excessive strain on panels. This unit is built with a dust-tight, water-tight, and oil-tight enclosure, ensuring superior protection in different industrial settings.
