Frequently Asked Questions
What are the terminal functions on this switch?
The terminals are marked directly on the switch body as C for Common, NO for Normally Open, and NC for Normally Closed, providing standard Form C changeover operation.
Can this switch be wired for direct DC loads?
Yes, while stamped for 125-250 VAC service, E61 switches are routinely used in low-voltage DC logic and signaling circuits within rated contact currents.
Why purchase this specific single unit instead of a bulk surplus lot?
Buying this individually inspected, photographed unit means getting the exact roller configuration and terminal layout needed for your repair without purchasing an entire mixed assortment. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping once over $28, and ship out from our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Precision mechanical action built to outlast the equipment it monitors. Wire it in, dial the cam, and count on clean contact every pass.
