DESCRIPTION

Honeywell Sensing and Control (S&C) offers safety switches to

meet your needs. Designed with OEMs in mind, we offer safety

switches in every size. The MICRO SWITCH™ GKM Series is

our miniature product line offering one of the smallest key-op

switches available. GKM has daisy-chain capability to reduce

installation and down time. Pre-leaded versions allow for rapid

fit, easy cable routing and function testing, potentially

cutting costs dramatically in OEM applications. Per safety code

EN 60954-1, components used alone comply as a Category 1.

By using components in conjunction with other safety switches

and modules, it is possible to construct a comprehensive protection schemes with Category 2, 3, or 4 compliance. Simple upgrade guarding solutions are available for end-user applications.
