The HONEYWELL LSXH3K is a MICRO SWITCHâ„¢ LSX switch designed for use in hazardous environments. This explosion-proof switch is completely sealed, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It features the same mounting hole location and tracking as the well-established MICRO SWITCH ML-E1 switch, and an optional mounting plate is available for the same tracking and mounting as the standard HDLS. The LSX switch offers a wide range of operating heads and circuitry options, similar to the HDLS. However, due to its explosion-proof requirements, it can only be used with nylon rollers or other non-sparking materials. The LSX order guide includes plunger and cat whisker types that are made of non-sparking materials.The MICRO SWITCHâ„¢ LSX is designed to withstand the pressure of an internal explosion and cool the exploding gases below the kindling temperature of the explosive atmosphere. The cover-housing threads and an extended plunger between the switch cavity and head provide flame paths for added safety. This reliable and durable switch is an ideal choice for hazardous environments.
