Overview

Honeywell E7 / V7 Series — MICRO SWITCH Medium-Duty Limit Switches:

MICRO SWITCH™ E6/V6 Series switches feature an electrostatic epoxy coated zinc housing for durability in most indoor and outdoor environments, and a wide variety of actuators to solve most application requirements. The E6/V6 Series are available with SPDT contacts with momentary or maintained action, or DPDT contacts with momentary action. These switches also offer gold-plated switch contacts for logic-level circuits and silver alloy contacts for power duty circuits. The internal ground screw is provided to meet electrical codes as required. These limit switches are offered with multiple connectivity options: three different conduit offerings, four-pin “mini” style connector, pre-wired 16-gage four conductor cable, pigtail with three-pin Deutsch connector.

Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ E7/V7 Series medium duty limit switches are designed for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications. Typical applications include equipment for commercial, industrial, and transportation industries. The electrostatic applied epoxy coating to the aluminum housings enhances the durability of the product in most applications. The E7/V7 family of switches incorporates the Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ BZ switch element which has the reliable snap-spring mechanism with more than 60 years of proven service.

The sealed (plungers with boots) E7/V7 Series are preferred for applications where there could be exposure to liquid and/or particulate environments. The unsealed E7/V7 Series are ideal for applications where there will not be exposure to liquid or dust environments. The compact size of the limit switch permits installation where there is limited space available on equipment. The SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) E7/E7S/V7/E9 Series of catalog listings are certified to CE and CSA for worldwide applications. While the DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) E7/E7S/V7/E9 Series of catalog listings are certified to CE for many applications.

Features:

Designed with MICRO SWITCH™ BZ, BM, or DT basic switches to deliver precise switching of electrical and mechanical operating characteristics

Rugged, epoxy-coated aluminum housing for indoor and outdoor applications

Small footprint with easy access to wiring terminals

Available in a configuration suited to the application with variety of actuators, circuitries, conduits, and mounting options

Applications:

Escalator obstruction detection – Roller actuator mounted behind skirt on escalators, if activated, power to the escalator is cut to avoid injury

Air curtain – A component in a circuit for control of air stream

Door or gate position – Can provide a signal when a door or gate is opened or closed

Commercial food processing – For large scale food preparation, to ensure all features are in the desired operating position

Traffic barrier signaling – If traffic barrier lowers, signal lights can be activated
