Overview
The Honeywell LSA1A1 is a Micro Switch heavy-duty limit switch engineered for industrial automation and machinery control. Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH heavy-duty limit switches feature modular construction allowing for a wide variety of actuator styles, operating heads, and electrical circuitry options. Rated for 10A at 600VAC, the LSA1A1 delivers robust switching performance in demanding environments where reliability and repeatability are critical. These precision snap-action switches, sealed in rugged housings, are used to detect presence or absence in areas where physical contact is allowed.
Key Features
- NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, 13 and IP65/66/67 environmental sealing with twin shaft seals for protection
- Uses all metal gears for longer MTBF compared to plastic gear designs
- Plug-in versions reduce downtime with quick replacement accomplished in seconds; base receptacle contains all wiring and conduit connections while the switching component assembles with two screws
- Available as plug-in and non-plug-in models with NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, and 13 ratings
- Operating levers available for multiple applications including roller actuators, yoke style actuators, offset actuators, wobble stick actuators, and loop actuators
- Suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor environments subject to shock, vibration, dust, splashing water, coolant, and hose-directed water
Technical Specifications
The LSA1A1 features SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuitry with SPDT configuration and conduit termination style. Operating temperature range is -12 °C to 121 °C. Physical dimensions are 41.1 mm long, 106.7 mm tall and 62 mm deep. UL and CSA rated, meeting stringent industrial safety standards.
Typical Applications
