Pizzato MKH12F30 microswitch with rear lever actuator, 1 NO + 1 NC contacts, snap-action switching and technopolymer housing for industrial automation.
£5.53
The Pizzato MKH12F30 is a compact and high-performance industrial microswitch with rear lever actuator, designed for precise position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it delivers excellent durability and consistent operation in demanding industrial environments.
This variant features a back direct action lever with roller, allowing actuation from rear movement or indirect mechanical contact. This design provides flexibility in machine layouts, especially where standard front actuation is not practical. The roller reduces friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation over repeated cycles.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH12F30 ensures fast and dependable switching. Its technopolymer housing is reinforced for impact resistance, while optional terminal covers enable sealing up to IP65, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The MKH12F30 is specifically designed for applications where actuation occurs from behind or through indirect mechanical linkages. The rear lever design provides installation flexibility, making it ideal for compact or complex machine assemblies.
Its snap-action switching mechanism ensures rapid electrical response with minimal contact bounce, improving reliability and reducing maintenance in industrial automation systems.
