Why Choose the Pizzato MKH11F42-R16 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MKH11F42-R16 is a high-reliability snap-action microswitch with roller lever, designed for precise position detection and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it offers enhanced contact reliability, robust construction and consistent performance in demanding environments.

This model features a roller lever actuator with metal roller, enabling smooth and low-friction actuation during repetitive mechanical movement. It is ideal for cam-driven systems, conveyors and machinery requiring dependable limit detection.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and direct snap-action switching, the MKH11F42-R16 provides fast and reliable electrical control across both AC and DC circuits. Its durable technopolymer housing ensures resistance to impact and environmental stress.

Key Advantages

  • Compact snap-action microswitch for industrial automation.
  • Roller lever actuator reduces friction and mechanical wear.
  • SPDT contact configuration for flexible circuit integration.
  • Enhanced contact reliability from MK series design.
  • Supports protection up to IP65 with suitable terminal covers.
  • High mechanical durability for repetitive industrial use.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MK series microswitch.
  • Direct action snap switching.
  • Roller lever actuator with metal roller (approx. 9.5 × 4 mm).
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT changeover contact).
  • Faston terminals (right-angle) for flexible wiring layouts.
  • Technopolymer housing, shock-resistant and self-extinguishing.
  • Silver contacts for consistent conductivity.

Enhanced Reliability with MK Series Contact System

The MK series incorporates an advanced contact design that improves switching reliability and reduces electrical resistance. This ensures stable operation even in high-cycle applications and critical automation systems.

Its compatibility with sealing accessories allows the microswitch to operate in dusty or humid environments, achieving higher protection levels where required.

Typical Applications

  • End-of-travel detection in industrial machinery.
  • Cam-driven automation systems.
  • Conveyors and material handling equipment.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Safety and monitoring circuits.
  • OEM machine building and integration.
