Limit switches

[itsme]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about a 'Burgess CR1D2' micro switch (datasheets etc.)??? I asked my Dad to have a look at work to see if they had any old limit switches for my machine, and sure enough, he came home with 6 of these Burgess units. I can't find any specs on the net about them, except a couple of places that have/had them for sale. At £33 each, I think I got quite a bargain. The six switches are almost worth more than the machine...

Here's one link I found:

Any thoughts on specs etc???

Thanks

Wow, I've never seen any as expensive as that, about Can$50.00, they are a typical micro-switch knock-off or equivalent, they can often be picked up by the box on ebay for a few dollars.
They are just Normally-open, Normally-closed contact single pole, probabally around 5amp resistive load.

yea, use pin 1 and 3 for normally open
use in 1 and 2 for normally closed

its printed on the side, the numbers should be by the respective contacts on the bottom. if not, it should be easy to figure out with a continuity tester ie. lightbulb, battery, and wire
