Lovato Electric TL21012S left-side key-operated thermoplastic limit switch with an angled T key, 1NO+1NC slow-action contacts, 250 V insulation rating and IP66 protection.
£81.77
The Lovato Electric TL21012S is a robust key-operated industrial limit switch designed for reliable position detection and mechanical interlocking in machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato Electric T series, it features a polymer thermoplastic housing manufactured to dimensions specified by EN 50041.
This model is operated from the left-hand side by an angled “T” key and is supplied without a reset button. Its 1NO+1NC slow-action contact configuration provides one normally open and one normally closed contact for integration into machine control, monitoring and signalling circuits.
With a rated insulation voltage of 250 V, a conventional thermal current of 6 A and an IP66 housing protection rating, the TL21012S is designed for dependable service in industrial environments. Its PG13.5 cable entry and self-releasing screw terminals support straightforward electrical installation.
Key-operated limit switches use a separate mechanical key to actuate their internal contacts. When the angled “T” key enters or leaves the switch head from the left-hand side, the slow-action contacts change state at defined operating points, allowing the control system to monitor the position of a moving machine component.
The Lovato Electric TL21012S combines a robust thermoplastic housing, long mechanical operating life and standardised mounting dimensions. Its 1NO+1NC contact arrangement enables both control and status-monitoring functions within industrial automation circuits.
