Aerco, Schaltbau, S820

20A snap-action switch

Now available from Aerco is the S820, a newly designed, snap-action switch from Schaltbau that is said to have many advantages over its predecessor, the popular S800 series.

Built with a stronger mechanism and a more rugged construction that increases its resistance to shock and vibration, the S820 has a current carrying capacity of 20A, twice that of the S800.

The new design also takes the opportunity to isolate the normally open and normally closed contact sets, thus separating the circuits and eliminating the risk of flashover.

Built in a transparent case that makes the contact condition evident at all times, the forced contact mechanism guarantees a failsafe operation of the normally closed contact set in the event of overload or spring failure.
