MICRO SWITCH™ V7 Series
Premium Miniature Basic Switches
Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH™ V7 miniature switches are designed for long term-reliability in a rugged switch
packaged with a thermoplastic housing. These switches may be installed in a wide range of applications from simple
or precision on/off limits, presence/absence sensing, or embedded in pressure or temperature assemblies.
The V7 switch is available as a pin plunger style or with optional integral or auxiliary levers to actuate the switch and
offer versatility in the application. The switch requires as little as 0,15 Newtons [approximately ½ ounce] to operate
for extremely sensitive applications or an operating force of almost 4 Newtons [14 ounces] where higher forces are
required. The V7 switch can reliably control logic level electrical loads from less than 0.1 A to power duty switching up
to 25 A. Agency certifications for the MICRO SWITCH™ V7 switches are provided through CSA, ENEC, and UL for
global use around the world.
What makes our switches better?
Certified with CSA, ENEC, and UL for global acceptability
Reliable snap-spring mechanism with more than 60 years of
proven service
Available with pin plungers, integral levers (fitted two posi-
tions), or auxiliary levers to meet equipment requirements
Electrical ratings from 0.1 A up to 25 A for
design flexibility in one package size
Big performance in a small package.
COST OPTIMIZATION • RELIABILITY
PERFORMANCE • GLOBAL ACCEPTANCE

Features
and Benefits
ACTUATION ON TIME
MICRO SWITCH™ V7 Series basic switches
operate with forces as low
as 15 g
and carry options to increase to 397 g, and can thereby easily
accommodate different actuator mechanisms.
Global acceptance: UL, CSA, ENEC
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE IN HARSH CONDITIONS
Switches feature
industry-leading temperature ranges
of -40 °C to 175 °C [-40
°F to 347 °F] to allow for years of reliable performance in harsh conditions.
LONG LIFE CYCLE RATING
The long life cycle rating (up to
10,000,000 cycles)
reduces the need to replace
switches over the life of OEM platform applications, therefore reducing total system
cost.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Available with pin plungers, integral levers (fitted 2 positions), and auxiliary levers to
meet a variety of equipment requirements, MICRO SWITCH™ V7 Series switches
also boast electrical ratings from 0.1 A up to 25 A for design flexibility in one
package size.
Potential Applications
VENDING MACHINE MOTORS
Switch controls motors or solenoids in vending machines for dispensing of product.
MICROWAVE DOOR INTERLOCK
Switch in door interlock of microwave that disconnects power if door opened.
OVEN CLEANING LATCH
Switch in door latch for oven clean operation.
PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Pressure switch senses incoming water pressure for power washer.
