Why Choose the Pizzato MKH12R45 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MKH12R45 is a robust and high-performance industrial microswitch with short roller lever actuator, designed for precise position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it delivers consistent performance and long operational life in demanding industrial environments.

This model features a short roller lever actuator (approximately 25 mm length) combined with inverted switching action, making it ideal for applications requiring reverse logic or controlled mechanical engagement. Its glass fibre reinforced technopolymer housing ensures excellent resistance to vibration, wear and environmental stress.

With a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration, vertical Faston terminals and silver contacts, the MKH12R45 integrates easily into control panels and industrial machinery. When used with compatible terminal covers, it can achieve up to IP65 protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
