Metal-Encapsulated Pin Switches 3SE2 General description (applications): on the basis of increasing requirements in relation to the safety of technical devices and machinery, electromechanical pin switches are becoming increasingly indispensable. These include safety pin switches enclosed in moulding material in compliance with EN 50047 (and other standards) and metal-encapsulated position switches in compliance with EN 50041. Pin switches convert the mechanical positions of moving machine components into electrical signals. Main characteristics Safety function based on positive break contacts in accordance with IEC 60947-5-1-3 The opening break-before-make contacts are thus opened mechanically and reliably by actuator The devices are climate-resistant Various types of drive
