MICRO SWITCH™
E6/V6 Series
Enclosed Basic Switch
DESCRIPTION
MICRO SWITCH BZE/DTE enclosed basic switches offer enhanced precision operation and sturdy actuation in a compact
but rugged metal housing. The large wiring enclosure means
that the user can get access to wire the device simply. The
switch incorporates high repeatability of the switch point early in
the travel of the switch. This is achieved through a very tolerant
over-travel mechanism aimed at reducing the effect of the application drift and the long-term accuracy of the switch.
MICRO SWITCH™ E6 (side mount) and V6 (flange mount)
switches are offered with or without actuator seal boots. Both
have a combination insulator/seal cemented inside the bottom
enclosure. Lead washers are used to seal the mounting holes on
side mount switches. All side mount switches are installed with
#6 screws, except the BZE6-2RN7 (#8 screws). Removal of the
bottom enclosure exposes the terminals for easy wiring.
