Why Choose the IMO AC-MSCV22 Microswitch Terminal Protection Cover?
The IMO AC-MSCV22 is a dedicated terminal protection cover for IMO MS Series microswitches, designed to provide enhanced protection around the switch terminals and cable connection. When fitted to compatible MSSTC12xxx microswitches, the cover enables the assembled switch to achieve an IP65 protection rating.
The AC-MSCV22 incorporates a wire-trap cable gland suitable for multipolar cables with diameters from 4–7.5 mm. Its snap-in assembly provides a practical method of enclosing the terminal area while maintaining a secure cable entry, making it particularly suitable for industrial machinery and automation installations exposed to dust or moisture.
Designed as part of IMO's MS Series microswitch accessory range, the AC-MSCV22 can also be used in installations where multiple microswitches are mounted side by side. Its combination of terminal protection, cable management and IP65 capability makes it a useful accessory for demanding machine-control and position-sensing applications.
