MSSTC12DA08 IMO Microswitch, Screw Terminals Piston Plunger 6.8mm Diameter

Why Choose the IMO MSSTC12DA08 Microswitch?

The IMO MSSTC12DA08 is an industrial snap-action microswitch designed for mechanical position detection, end-of-travel sensing and machine control applications. It features a 6.8 mm diameter piston plunger with an M10 long threaded neck, providing direct mechanical actuation and flexible positioning within machinery and OEM equipment.

The MSSTC12DA08 uses a snap-action changeover mechanism to provide rapid and repeatable electrical switching when the piston plunger reaches its operating point. Its long threaded neck allows the actuator position to be adjusted relative to the surrounding mechanical assembly, making it particularly useful where precise mounting depth or extended actuator positioning is required.

Featuring a changeover contact and screw terminal connections, the MSSTC12DA08 provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions from a compact industrial microswitch. The switch is also designed for an IP-rated installation when used with the appropriate cover, providing additional environmental protection where required.

Adjustable Plunger Position Sensing

Microswitches convert mechanical movement into an electrical switching signal when their actuator reaches a predetermined operating position. The IMO MSSTC12DA08 uses a 6.8 mm piston plunger and snap-action mechanism to operate its changeover contact, enabling machinery and control systems to detect movement, confirm component position or identify an end-of-travel condition.

The M10 long threaded neck is particularly useful where the position of the switch body and the required actuation point do not align with a standard short-neck plunger. The threaded mounting arrangement allows the actuator position to be set within the mechanical assembly, while screw terminals provide straightforward connection to industrial control wiring.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
• Mechanical limit and end-of-travel sensing.
• Automated production equipment.
• Machine tools and processing machinery.
• Conveyors and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and assembly machinery.
• Mechanical interlocking and control mechanisms.
• OEM machinery requiring adjustable plunger positioning.
