Available from RS Components is the Honeywell MICRO SWITCH MT Series Miniature Toggle Switch, one pole, three-position, Solder terminals, Silver Contacts, SPDT, Standard Lever. The series of miniature toggle switches are designed to satisfy the demand for a rugged, cost-effective toggle switch.

Quality construction features incorporate a seal between the toggle lever and bushing, and between the cover and case. These switches are created for employment in applications in many demanding outdoor environments, where the panels are subjected to such things as temperature extremes, vibration from equipment, dust, splashing water, and/or hose directed water. They are able to withstand exposure to heavy accumulations of early morning dew that can condense on the control panel in cabs of vehicles left outdoors overnight. The toggle switches with metal or plastic levers are ideal for the gloved-hand operation. The panel stand-off with O-ring feature offered on some listings removes the requirement for behind-the-panel hardware, offers a uniform panel height, and a panel-to-cover seal.

Typical applications include concrete pumping, cranes, material handling, boom trucks, and any application with small panel constraints.
