Why Choose the Pizzato MF08 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MF08 is a robust and highly precise snap-action microswitch designed for industrial automation and control applications. As part of the reliable Pizzato MF series, it features a threaded plunger actuator that allows fine adjustment of the switching point, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate positioning and repeatability.

Built with a durable technopolymer housing and high-quality internal components, the MF08 delivers consistent performance in demanding environments. Its compact design ensures easy integration into machinery, while maintaining excellent mechanical durability for long-term use.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and support for both AC and DC loads, the MF08 is widely used in industrial equipment for end-of-travel detection, safety monitoring and control logic switching.

Key Advantages

  • Compact snap-action microswitch for industrial automation.
  • Threaded plunger actuator enables precise adjustment.
  • Fast and reliable switching response for accurate control.
  • SPDT contact configuration supports 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.
  • Threaded plunger actuator (M10 × 0.75).
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT changeover contact).
  • Faston terminals for secure electrical connection.
  • Compact body for space-saving installation.
  • High cycle life for industrial use.

Adjustable and Reliable Switching for Industrial Control

The Pizzato MF08 utilises a snap-action mechanism to provide fast and consistent switching performance. This ensures reliable electrical contact transitions while reducing wear, even in high-frequency switching environments.

Its threaded plunger actuator allows precise adjustment of the actuation point, making it ideal for applications where accurate positioning and repeatability are essential in automated machinery.
