EA800 Series Limit Switch

The EA800 Series hazardous location limit switches operate reliably where gases, vapors, and dust are potential explosion hazards. The EA800 Series bodies are carefully engineered to resist corrosion. Approved spark-proof bronze, or aluminum housings can withstand internal and external gas explosions while maintaining the reliability of Cam Type SNAP-LOCK® Technology. This series is NEMA rated for hazardous locations.

With generous over travel and cycle life is in the millions, when operated at the rated current, voltage, and temperature, the EA800 Series heavy duty limit switch features flexibility of motion and clockwise and counter-clockwise. Standard switches have maximum ambient temperature ratings of 90°C continuous. Switches can also be specially ordered with either -40°C or +150°C capabilities.
