Overview
The Micro Switch DTE6-2RN2 snap-action switch is part of Honeywell’s precision switching product line. This type contains a precision snap-action basic switch inside a rugged cast zinc housing, providing reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The N-710 L59 designation indicates this model’s compliance with standard electrical and UL specifications for general-purpose switching applications.
Key Features
- Precision snap-action mechanism inside cast zinc housing for durability and environmental protection
- Small movement at the actuator produces large movement at contacts, occurring at high speed regardless of actuation speed
- Switching occurs at specific and repeatable positions of the actuator
- Side-mounted flange configuration for flexible installation options
- Used condition — fully tested and functional
Technical Specifications
Verify the following specifications with the manufacturer or your system integrator before ordering, as this is a used unit and original documentation may vary:
- Contact configuration: DPDT (Double-Pole Double-Throw)
- Housing material: Cast zinc
- Mounting style: Side flange mount
- UL code: L59
- Model designation: N-710 / 8012
- Actuator type: Standard plunger or lever (verify with manufacturer)
Typical Applications
Snap-action switches are designed for applications requiring fast and reliable switching with minimal actuation force, and feature a mechanism that instantly changes contacts when the actuator is triggered. Common industrial uses include:
- Machine tool limit and position sensing
- Safety interlocks and emergency stop circuits
- Industrial control panel switching
- Equipment status monitoring and alarm circuits
- Automation and process control systems
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Industrial PLC control systems
