Why Choose the Pizzato MKV12D15 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKV12D15 is a robust industrial microswitch with threaded roller plunger, engineered for precise position detection and reliable switching in demanding automation environments. As part of the trusted Pizzato MK series, it offers excellent durability, consistent switching performance, and long mechanical life.
This model features a M12 × 1 threaded roller plunger actuator, allowing precise adjustment of the actuation point while ensuring smooth mechanical interaction. The roller reduces wear on both the switch and the interacting surface, while the direct action switching mechanism provides fast and repeatable operation for accurate control.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT) contact configuration and positive opening contacts, the MKV12D15 is suitable for both control and safety-related circuits. It supports switching loads up to 5–6 A at 250 V AC and 4–5 A at 24 V DC, with a mechanical life of approximately 10 million cycles.
