MSSTC11DA09 IMO Microswitch, Screw Terminals Piston Plunger 6.8mm dia, M10

Why Choose the IMO MSSTC11DA09 Microswitch?

The IMO MSSTC11DA09 is a compact and durable industrial snap-action microswitch designed for mechanical position detection, end-of-travel sensing and machine control applications. As part of the IMO MSS microswitch series, it features a 6.8 mm diameter piston plunger with M10 threaded neck, snap changeover contacts and screw terminals for secure electrical connection.

The MSSTC11DA09 uses a snap-action switching mechanism to provide fast and repeatable contact operation when the plunger is mechanically depressed. The IMO MSS series combines a glass-reinforced plastic housing with a wide range of actuator configurations and offers a mechanical operational life of up to 10 million cycles, making it suitable for repetitive industrial switching duties.

Featuring 1 NO + 1 NC changeover contacts, the MSSTC11DA09 provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions from a single compact device. Its M10 threaded neck allows convenient mechanical mounting, while the increased 5.5 mm overtravel provides useful actuator travel for machinery and OEM equipment applications.

Reliable Mechanical Switching for Industrial Equipment

Microswitches provide an electrical signal when mechanical movement reaches a predetermined position. The IMO MSSTC11DA09 uses a piston plunger and snap-action mechanism to operate its changeover contacts, enabling machinery and control systems to detect movement, confirm component position, identify an end-of-travel condition or initiate another stage of an automated sequence.

The M10 threaded neck provides a convenient mounting method for positioning the plunger within a mechanical assembly, while the 5.5 mm overtravel allows continued actuator movement after contact operation. Combined with secure screw terminals and the durable MSS series construction, the MSSTC11DA09 is well suited to machine building, automation and OEM equipment.
