SWITCH - MICROSWITCH (CAT CT216162)

A damaged microswitch can cause intermittent or complete loss of electrical continuity in a circuit. During inspection, a microswitch may fail to actuate due to worn internal contacts or broken actuator levers. This aftermarket replacement part references CAT part number CT216162. The microswitch type performs a plain mechanical function by opening or closing an electrical circuit when its actuator is physically pressed or released. A common generic failure consequence is that the switch may remain stuck in one position, preventing the connected device from responding to input. Keeping a microswitch in sound condition helps ensure reliable signal transmission in control circuits. The item ships at approximately 0.045 pounds. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
