HERMETICALLY SEALED MICROSWITCH ES SINGLE POLE, CHANGEOVER TYPES 83 151
(150°C) AND DERIVA TIVES
PRESENTATION
This is the basic comporent for our whole range of standard 1-pole and 2-poIes hermetically-sealed limit swit-
ches plus the 3-poIes version (special Umit Switches).
The CROUZET hermetic microswitch combines a snap-action switching system with high resistance to shock
and vibration in an hermetically sealed miniature case which encloses an atmosphere of inert gas around its
contacts, ideal for switching very Iow level circuits and higher currents also.
The meticulous care taken in the manufacture of this hermetically sealed cell in terms of assembly processes,
cleanliness of components as well as inspection procedures, result in a product which is ideal for operation in
severe environments where a high level of reliability is essential.
The CROUZET hermelically sealed cell is particularly well suited to sectors such as Aerospace, Armaments,
Marine, Nuclear, etc.

Tolerated overtravel
forces
Total
No abrupt increase in the total travel of the
device is noted under rising overtravel forces
of up to 80 N. On return to a normal overtravel
force of 20 N after these measurements have
been carried out on one and the same device, the
total travel will be observed to have varied only
very little (low permanent set).
The device can be damaged if the overtravel
force is pushed up to 150 N.

Hermetic sealing
• The microswitch is filled with inert gas (nitrogen-hydrogen mixture), the internal pressure being 1 bar.
• The hermetic sealing (membrane-cap - cap-base) is achieved with a continuous seam welding bead.

The force values of our hermetically sealed
microswitches are influenced by ambient pressure
and temperature; we give the value, for the base
cell, for the increase in operating force (∆ OF) as a
function of these two parameters.
The characteristics are stated for normal
temperature (23°C) and atmospheric pressure at
sea level (760 mm Hg).
Our hermetically sealed microswitches can be used
from atmospheric pressure to absolute vacuum;
some variants allow use at higher pressures.
