Why Choose the IMO AC-C02 IP40 Microswitch Terminal Cover?
The IMO AC-C02 is a dedicated terminal cover for IMO MS Series microswitches, designed to provide additional protection around the electrical terminals and connections of compatible switches. When installed on the appropriate MS Series microswitch, the AC-C02 enables a protection degree of IP40, making it a practical accessory for industrial machinery, automation and control applications.
As part of the IMO MS Series accessory range, the AC-C02 complements the robust design of these general-purpose industrial microswitches. The MS Series incorporates a high-precision snap-action mechanism and is available in a wide range of actuator configurations, allowing the switches to be used for position detection, limit sensing and machine control duties.
The AC-C02 is specifically intended for compatible MSSTC11xxx microswitch configurations. By enclosing the terminal area, it helps protect the connections against accidental contact and ingress of solid objects while allowing the completed microswitch assembly to achieve its specified IP40 protection level.

IP40 Protection for Industrial Microswitch Installations
Microswitches are commonly used in industrial machinery for position detection, limit sensing and control functions. Their electrical terminals form an important part of the installation, and a suitable terminal cover can provide additional protection around the wiring and connection area while helping prevent accidental contact with live components.
The IMO AC-C02 is designed specifically to increase the protection level of compatible MSSTC11xxx microswitches to IP40. This makes it a useful addition to IMO MS Series installations where a higher degree of protection around the terminal area is required without changing the fundamental switching arrangement.
Typical Applications
- IMO MS Series microswitch installations.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Position and limit sensing systems.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Machine control systems.
- Conveyors and material handling machinery.
- OEM equipment manufacturing.
- Maintenance and replacement of microswitch terminal protection.
