DESCRIPTION
Honeywell MICRO SWITCH TW Series toggle switches are
military qualified to MIL-83731 specifications for sealed
and unsealed toggle switches. Quality construction features
include an available bonded seal between the toggle lever and
bushing for those applications where a sealingꢀrelated failure
cannot be tolerated.
POTENTIAL INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
• Military and commercial aircraft and helicopters
• Aviation ground support equipment
• Military land vehicles (track and wheeled vehicles)
• Industrial machinery and construction equipment
• Process control
The durable design of the TW Series toggle is wellꢀsuited for
many military, aerospace and other demanding applications
where space behind the panel is limited. These applications
include environments where the panels are subjected to
mechanical shock, vibration, dust, splashing or hoseꢀdirected
water, and temperature extremes.
DIFFERENTIATION
• Miniature size saves space and weight
• Variety of terminations, circuitries, and lever options for a
number of applications
PORTFOLIO
MICRO SWITCH TW toggles feature a miniature militaryꢀ
grade design with environmental sealing capabilities and can
be configured with a large selection of circuitries, electrical
terminations, lever and bushing designs, and contact material
options to satisfy a diverse range of applications.
In addition the the TW Series, Honeywell offers six series of
MICRO SWITCH toggle switches including the TL Series, NT
Series, TS Series, ET Series, and AT Series.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• MIL-DTL-83731 qualified switches available to meet military
specifications
• Environmental sealing availability enables switches to
withstand many demanding indoor and outdoor applications
• Miniature size (small footprint) for applications where
behindꢀtheꢀpanel space is at a minimum
• 2- and 3ꢀposition, maintained and momentary toggle action
to meet circuit and actuator requirements
