Microswitches handle hotter duties
Omron has introduced new high temperature versions of its D3V miniature unsealed switch designed to withstand temperatures up to 200C in domestic ovens and other similar applications
Rated at 11, 6 and 0.1A the new Omron D3V switches use polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) plastic moulding material because of its excellent high-temperature performance, inherent flame retardance and chemical resistance. As with all Omron D3Vs, the new high temperature versions conform to EN61058-1, UL1054, CSA C22.2 and UL858 requirements for components incorporated in household appliances.

All are available with either internally or externally fitted levers, two fixing positions for external levers and a choice of terminal options.
The switches are offered in SPDT, SPST-NC and SPST-NO configurations.
