Your choices are... | |||
Electromechanical | Electromechanical speed switches are direct-coupled, speed-indicating devices that open or close the contacts mechanically, as a function of the rotational speed of the switch shaft. The construction of the switch or the adjustment of internal components determines the speed at which the switch trips. | ||
Electronic | Electronic speed switches are direct-coupled, speed-indicating devices that open or close a set of contacts using a relay and electronic circuit. User-defined switch settings and the rotational input speed of the switch shaft determine the speed at which the switch trips. | ||
Magnetic Proximity | Magnetic proximity switches are non-contact devices which use a proximity sensor to detect a rotating piece of ferrous metal. These speed switches use a microcomputer to count between sensor impulses and circuitry to analyze discrepancies in pulse time. If the impulses depart from preprogrammed limits, a relay opens or closes a set of contacts. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary technologies. | ||

Contacts | |||
Your choices are... | |||
SPST | Single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches make or break the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. They typically have two terminals and are called “single pole” switches. | ||
SPDT | Single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches make or break the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. SPDT switches typically have three terminals, are commonly used in pairs, and are often called “three-way” switches. | ||
DPST | Double-pole, single-throw (DPST) switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. DPST switches typically have six terminals and are available in both momentary and maintained contact versions. | ||
DPDT | Double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. | ||
Solid State | Solid-state electronics or semiconductor electronics replace mechanical relays and do not contain moving parts. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary contacts. | ||
