MF 12 Pizzato Microswitch with sealed plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato MF12 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MF12 is a durable and highly reliable snap-action microswitch designed for precise position detection and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the trusted Pizzato MF series, this model features a sealed plunger actuator, offering enhanced protection against dust and environmental contaminants while maintaining consistent switching performance.

Engineered with a compact technopolymer housing and high-quality internal components, the MF12 ensures long service life even in demanding industrial environments. Its sealed actuator design makes it particularly suitable for applications where protection from ingress is important.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and support for both AC and DC loads, the MF12 is widely used for end-of-travel detection, position sensing and control signalling in industrial machinery.
