Why Choose the Pizzato MKV12D17 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKV12D17 is a durable industrial microswitch with transversal roller plunger, designed for precise lateral position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato MK series, it delivers high reliability, consistent switching performance, and long mechanical life in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a transversal (side-mounted) roller plunger actuator, enabling smooth lateral actuation while reducing mechanical wear on both the switch and machine components. The direct action switching mechanism ensures fast, repeatable response, making it ideal for applications requiring precision and consistency.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT) contact configuration and positive opening contacts, the MKV12D17 is suitable for both control and safety circuits. It supports switching loads up to 5 A at 250 V AC and 4 A at 24 V DC, with a mechanical life of approximately 10 million cycles.
Key Advantages
- Transversal roller plunger enables side-actuated switching.
- Smooth roller movement reduces mechanical wear and stress.
- Direct action switching ensures high repeatability.
- Positive opening contacts suitable for safety circuits.
- Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.
- High mechanical durability of approximately 10 million cycles.

Transversal Roller for Side Actuation
The transversal roller plunger design allows actuation from the side rather than vertically, making the MKV12D17 ideal for installations where space constraints or machine geometry require lateral switching. This design reduces mechanical stress and improves the lifespan of both the switch and interacting components.
Combined with Pizzato’s MK series contact system, which enhances reliability through redundant contact design, the switch delivers stable electrical performance even in high-cycle industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Position detection and limit control.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- OEM machinery and control systems.
- Applications requiring lateral actuation.
