The 1HS3 is a premium, high-reliability Hermetically Sealed Microswitch from Honeywell's HS Series. Engineered for the most demanding environments, it features a true metal-to-metal, glass-to-metal hermetic seal that protects the switching mechanism from moisture, dust, and atmospheric changes. Whether in the unpressurized bay of an aircraft or deep within industrial machinery, the 1HS3 ensures precision performance where standard switches fail.
Design Integrity: Built to meet MIL-PRF-8805 requirements, this switch is designed for applications where failure-free operation is mandatory under extreme environmental stress.
The 1HS3 belongs to Honeywell's elite family of MICRO SWITCH™ products. The hallmark of the 1HS3 is its Hermetic Sealing, which involves an inert gas filling within the metal housing to prevent contact oxidation and maintain consistent operating characteristics regardless of altitude or ambient pressure.
This switch utilizes a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contact arrangement and is characterized by its compact size and high vibration resistance. The 1HS3 is often the first choice for engineers designing aerospace landing gear, fuel valves, and external flight control surfaces where exposure to hydraulic fluids and de-icing agents is common.
Honeywell is a global leader in sensing and switching technology. Their MICRO SWITCH™ brand invented the very first microswitch in 1932 and has remained the industry standard for precision and durability ever since.
Honeywell's aerospace and defense division specializes in "Severe Environment" components. Their HS series switches are qualified to numerous military specifications and are found in almost every major commercial and military aircraft platform worldwide.
Metal-to-glass seals protect contacts from all external contaminants and atmospheric pressure shifts.
Maintains precise operation in temperatures ranging from -54°C to +121°C [-65°F to +250°F].
Engineered to withstand the intense mechanical stress of aerospace takeoff and industrial vibration.
Delivers heavy-duty environmental protection in a lightweight, space-saving package.
The 1HS3 is housed in a rugged, corrosion-resistant stainless steel case. It is designed for easy integration into custom brackets or standard aerospace mounting holes.
The 1HS3 follows a standard SPDT logic for versatile control circuit integration.
