LIMIT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

摘要

: A limit switch assembly comprises a head having an actuator and a switch having a push button protruding outwards from a first area thereof and movable between projecting and depressed positions. At least two terminal members protrude outwards from a second area of the switch for electrical connection with external wiring elements. A rubber hood is configured to substantially tightly receive the switch therein, except for its second area. The hood has a circumferential flange formed integrally therewith to extend outwards therefrom in a plane generally parallel to the first area of the switch. A switch box has an opening at a location confronting the head and accommodating therein the switch together with the rubber hood. The circumferential flange is, when the switch is so accommodated in the switch box, positioned exteriorly of the switch box and surrounding the opening in the switch box. The head and the switch box are connected together by means of fastening members with the actuator aligned with the push button and the circumferential flange area tightly clamped therebetween.
