Why Choose the Pizzato MF13 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MF13 is a compact and durable snap-action microswitch designed for reliable position detection and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato MF series, it features a sealed plunger actuator, offering enhanced protection against dust and contaminants while maintaining precise switching performance.

Engineered with a robust technopolymer housing and high-quality internal contacts, the MF13 ensures long service life even in demanding environments. Its sealed actuator design improves reliability in applications where environmental protection is critical.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and snap-action switching mechanism, the MF13 delivers fast and repeatable switching for both AC and DC circuits, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial control applications.

Key Advantages

  • Compact snap-action microswitch for industrial automation.
  • Sealed plunger actuator for improved environmental protection.
  • Fast switching response ensures reliable signal control.
  • SPDT contact configuration for flexible circuit design.
  • High mechanical durability for long service life.
  • Suitable for both AC and DC switching applications.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MF series microswitch.
  • Snap-action switching mechanism.
  • Sealed plunger actuator for harsh environments.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT changeover contact).
  • Faston terminals for secure electrical connections.
  • Compact design for easy integration.
  • High cycle life (approx. 10 million operations).

Protected and Reliable Switching for Industrial Control

The Pizzato MF13 uses a snap-action mechanism to provide rapid and consistent switching performance, ensuring clean electrical transitions and reducing contact wear even in high-frequency applications.

Its sealed plunger actuator protects the internal mechanism from dust and contaminants, making it particularly suitable for environments where standard microswitches may be exposed to dirt or moisture.

Typical Applications

  • End-of-travel detection in industrial machinery.
  • Position sensing in automation systems.
  • Control panels and electrical equipment.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Mechanical limit detection in moving assemblies.
  • OEM machine building and integration.
