Circuitry |
This series is available
in single pole double throw (SPDT) and single pole single
throw (SPST) either normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC).
In general, normally open may be specified by adding
01 to suffix numbers, and normally closed by adding
02.
For example:
E51-00B is double throw,
E51-01B is normally open and
E51-02B is normally closed.

Ordering Information |
Select
the current rating you need. Combine the corresponding
Series/Prefix number (E51- or E53-)
with the appropriate suffix number for the switch type,
circuitry and terminals you require
(see Actuator Specifications table above).
Example:
E51-00B = 6A, SPDT with clockwise
actuation and standard parallel terminals (.205")
E53-52T = 0.1A, SPST NC with counter clockwise
actuation and vertical twist terminals (.187")
