The 23AC81 Safety Interlock Switch from Honeywell is designed for precision on/off application needs. This Honeywell Switch is available with a choice of momentary, maintained or pull-to-cheat actuation to offer design flexibility. Safety Interlock Switches are designed for mounting on a door or a cover, so that when the door or other part is opened, they open automatically. They prevent the gear shift lever from moving until the brake is applied.

When the service door, panel or drawer is opened, it cuts down the power by itself automatically. The current rating of this Interlock Safety Switch ranges from 5 A to 25 A. They are generally used in vending machines, office equipment, computer and business equipment, test instruments, communications equipment, and HVAC equipment, among others.
