1HS3 - Honeywell Hermetically Sealed Basic Microswitch

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.

 

Overview & Environmental Excellence

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.

SEO Engineering Insight: The 1HS3 is a "set-and-forget" component. Its hermetic chamber ensures that the internal air chemistry never changes, providing predictable switching points for decades.
 

About Honeywell Sensing & IoT

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.

 

Key Advantages

True Hermetic Sealing

Metal-to-glass seals protect contacts from all external contaminants and atmospheric pressure shifts.

Wide Temperature Range

Maintains precise operation in temperatures ranging from -54°C to +121°C [-65°F to +250°F].

High Vibration Resistance

Engineered to withstand the intense mechanical stress of aerospace takeoff and industrial vibration.

Compact Micro Form Factor

Delivers heavy-duty environmental protection in a lightweight, space-saving package.

 

Package & Mechanical Specs

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.

Mechanical Details: 
  • Housing Material: Stainless Steel.
  • Terminal Type: Solder Terminals (optimized for high-reliability wiring).
  • Actuation: Pin Plunger (compatible with various external levers).
  • Sealing Standard: MIL-PRF-8805, Design 3.
 

Contact Configuration

The 1HS3 follows a standard SPDT logic for versatile control circuit integration.

Common (C)
The central input terminal for the switching circuit.
Normally Closed (NC)
The path that is connected to Common when the switch is at rest.
Normally Open (NO)
The path that is connected to Common when the plunger is actuated.

Equivalent & Replacement Guide

The 1HS3 is a specialized component. When seeking equivalents, the hermetic rating and mounting dimensions are critical.

  • 1HS1 / 1HS6: Other variations within the Honeywell HS family with different actuation forces or terminal styles.
  • M8805/1-023: The Military Standard (Mil-Spec) equivalent often used in government procurement.
  • Safran/OTTO Alternatives: Functional equivalents exist in the OTTO P1 or P3 series, though mounting patterns must be verified.
Sourcing Note: For flight-critical repairs, always check for the MS25011-3 or similar Mil-Spec cross-reference on the switch body to ensure certification compliance.
 

Primary Applications

Landing Gear

Aerospace Landing Gear

Position sensing for landing gear doors and lock mechanisms exposed to high-velocity air and debris.

Fuel Systems

Fuel & Hydraulic Valves

Limit switching in valve actuators where exposure to volatile fluids requires total hermetic isolation.

Defense

Defense & Ordnance

Critical trigger and safety interlocks in missile systems and ground combat vehicles.

Subsea

Offshore & Marine

Control systems on oil rigs or subsea equipment where salt spray and high pressure are constant factors.

 

Quality & Authenticity

  • QPL Listed: Fully qualified to MIL-PRF-8805 standards for military-grade switches.
  • 100% Hermetic Testing: Every 1HS3 unit is leak-tested to ensure the integrity of the inert gas chamber.
  • Authorized Sourcing: We provide full traceability and Certificates of Conformance (CoC) for all Honeywell aerospace components.
 

Technical FAQ

What makes the 1HS3 different from a standard "sealed" switch?
Standard "sealed" switches use rubber O-rings or gaskets (environmental sealing). The 1HS3 uses a "hermetic" seal (metal-to-glass), which is much more robust and permanent, preventing even microscopic gas molecules from entering the switch over decades.
Can the 1HS3 handle high-altitude operation?
Yes. Because it is hermetically sealed with an internal atmosphere, its switching characteristics (like arc suppression) remain identical at sea level and at 50,000 feet.
 

Disclaimer

Important Notice: The 1HS3 is a precision aerospace component. Technical data is for identification purposes. For flight-critical applications or MRO, always verify specifications against the latest Honeywell 1HS series catalog and MIL-PRF-8805 standards.
