FAQ

What does the 'SPDT' circuitry mean for wiring this switch?

SPDT stands for Single Pole, Double Throw. This means the switch has three terminals: a common (C), a normally open (NO), and a normally closed (NC). In its resting state, the circuit is complete between C and NC. When the actuator is pressed, the connection to NC breaks, and a new connection is made between C and NO. This allows you to control two different circuits with one switch action.

The top pin plunger on this specific model is typically not adjustable in length. However, the BAF series is modular. Different actuator heads (e.g., roller levers, wobbles) can often be installed on the same switch body, but you should always consult the datasheet to ensure compatibility.

The Honeywell BAF series switches are typically rated for NEMA 1, 3, 4, and 13. This corresponds to an IP rating of approximately IP65/IP66. This makes it dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it suitable for general industrial environments, machine tools, and areas where it might be exposed to oil, coolants, and non-corrosive liquids.
