Cherry D45 Micro Switch 15A 1/2HP SPDT Long Hinge Lever UL CSA | CHERRY D45 Micro Switch,15A 1/2HP 125/250 VAC,SPDT,Long Hinge Lever,3 Screw Terminals,RU & CSA Approved,20M Cycles

Elevate your equipment’s control system with a switch that carries the CHERRY reputation for quality. This D45 micro switch is engineered as the precise OEM replacement, delivering the exact form, fit, and function required to restore optimal performance to machinery, industrial controls, and high-end appliances. The D45 stands out with its 1/2 HP motor rating—a certification of its ability to directly manage the startup and shutdown currents of fractional horsepower motors. This, combined with its 15A 125/250V AC capacity, allows it to serve as both a precise limit sensor and a robust power switch, often eliminating the complexity and cost of an intermediate relay in designs for conveyors, actuators, or commercial appliances. Harness the full potential of the 3-pin SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) configuration. This versatility allows you to implement it in multiple ways: As a Normally Open (NO) switch to make a circuit upon actuation. As a Normally Closed (NC) switch to break a circuit upon actuation (ideal for safety interlocks). As a changeover switch to control two separate circuits with one action. This makes it an indispensable component for complex control logic, status indication, and fail-safe circuit design. CHERRY switches are synonymous with durability. The D45 features a robust construction that resists impact, vibration, and environmental stressors. The precision snap-action mechanism ensures crisp, reliable contact transfer with a positive tactile feel, contributing to consistent performance over millions of operational cycles. Carrying both RU (US) and CSA (Canada) certifications, this switch meets rigorous safety standards for electrical and mechanical performance. These marks are crucial for compliance in the North American market, providing peace of mind for manufacturers, technicians, and end-users regarding the safety and reliability of their equipment.
