MICRO SWITCH
Sealed and High Accuracy
Switch Line Guide
Engineered smarter. Basically better. Honeywell Sensing
and Control (S&C) offers an impressive collection of
environmentally sealed limit switches and basic switches,
as well as hermetically sealed products. Many of our
environmentall sealed limit switches incorporate the gold
standard of basic switches – the MICRO SWITCH SM/SX Series
– resulting in enhanced accuracy and reliability under most
extreme conditions. The hermetically sealed lineup includes
switches that maintain the contact in a gas-tight seal, while
transmitting force and motion to the mechanism through a
metal diaphragm. And our high-temperature products have
the switching element mounted on a ceramic base with
stainless steel enclosures.
Honeywell S&C’s flexible sealed switch line opens the door to
new, powerful possibilities for your applications.
FEATURES
SEALED LIMIT SWITCHES
EN Series.
Features: Environment-proof seal per
MIL-PRF-8805, symbol 4 • Qualified
to MIL-PRF-8805 • Rugged stainless
steel housing • Environment seal resists
most severe environments • Different
contact materials (silver and gold) allow
the control of a logic-level load of up to
15 A at 28 Vdc • Top plunger and roller
plunger actuators have an internal ice
scraper ring
Benefits: Miniature housing
constructions are available with similar
actuator styles to meet the demand for
smaller size and lighter weight without
sacrificing performance or electrical
capacity. Potential applications include
aircraft landing gear and flap/stabilizer
controls, aircraft engine thrust reversers,
space vehicles, and armored personnel
carriers.
HE Series.
Features: Similar to the construction of
the EN series, the HE has a higher level
of sealing with the contacts enclosed
in a hermetic chamber • Often meets or
exceeds mechanical and electrical life
as defined in MIL-PRF-8805 • Designed
to meet sand and dust, explosion,
icing, minimum current, and moisture
resistance requirements • Top plunger
and roller plunger actuators have an
internal ice scraper ring • Variety of
actuators and terminations • Stainless
steel housing
Benefits: Features true hermetic
sealing (metal-to-metal, glass-tometal construction) designed to ensure
maximum sealing effectiveness for long
periods of time regardless of constant
changes in atmospheric pressures and
temperatures. Potential applications
include jet aircraft de-icer controls and
military aircraft wingfold actuators.
HR Series.
Features: Designed to meet the
requirements of MIL-PRF-8805
standards • Designed to meet moisture
resistance, explosion, and salt spray
requirements
• Top plunger actuator has an internal ice
scraper ring • Stainless steel housing
• Operates at low temperatures (-65 °C
[-85 °F])
Benefits: Combines enhanced sealing
and high temperature capability into one
package. Potential applications include
aircraft engine thrust reversers.
SEALED BASIC SWITCHES
SE/XE Series.
Features: Watertight seal per enclosure
design MIL-PRF-8805, symbol 3

Application knowledge.
Industry wisdom.
Honeywell S&C sealed
switches utilize center-pinned
toggles yielding enhanced
strength and repeatability.
Many years of experience
in the most demanding
environments on Earth
validate our design. You’ll find
a wide variety of actuators,
terminations, circuitry
configurations, electrical
ratings, contact materials
and operating characteristics
— for unbeatable flexibility.
Each switch meets military
standards and/or U.S.,
European, and CCC approval
for global use.
These switches are designed
for presence and absence
detection, where physical
contact with an object
is allowed. So they excel
in potential applications
requiring compactness;
lightweight, accurate
repeatability; and extended
life — including aerospace,
agriculture, transportation,
construction, marine and
ordnance, plus command and
control equipment.
Check with Honeywell S&C
for the most comprehensive
sealed switch line. And for
ways to put it all together,
better.
