Cam Switches

Cam Switches according to their contact arrangement are fitted with switching chambers with 1, 2 or 3 (series 111 only) double interrupted conduct paths. Each conduct path is arranged of 2 firmly seated terminals and one mobile contact bridge which is guided by a plunger. The contact bridge is positively opened by the cam and closed by a spring. The indexing device is available in different torques and 4 different switching angles. The finger proof Cam Switches are equipped with screws with captive screw heads. All terminals are fitted with screwdriver guiding, funnel-shaped cable entries and in chamber like design. Cable end stops assure the correct insertion depth.
