⚠️ Important Clarification – Honeywell MICRO SWITCH
-
NO (Normally Open): The circuit is open in its default state; current flows only when the switch is actuated.
-
NC (Normally Closed): The circuit is closed in its default state; current flow is interrupted when the switch is actuated.
These contact types are standard in Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH line, ensuring precise, repeatable actuation and dependable electrical feedback in control systems.
