HERGA 6871 Series Air Switch, SPDT, Side Entry

The HERGA 6871 Series Air Switch is a robust and reliable component designed specifically for demanding OEM and industrial applications. This SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) switch is pneumatically actuated, offering a safe and durable alternative to electrical switching in environments where sparks, moisture, or volatile atmospheres are a concern. Its construction utilises an acetyl body for strength and chemical resistance, paired with a responsive silicone diaphragm that ensures consistent operation over a long service life.

A key feature of this model is its back entry air connection, which provides flexibility for neat installation and integration into pneumatic control systems. The switch terminals are of the quick connect type, facilitating fast and tool-free wiring to save valuable assembly time. You can select between alternate (latching) and momentary switch actions to precisely match your control logic requirements, making it a versatile choice for various machine and process control functions.

Built to handle substantial electrical loads, this air switch is rated for a maximum contact current of 16A AC and a contact voltage of 250V AC. This capability makes it suitable for directly controlling motors, solenoids, heaters, and other industrial equipment. The compact side-actuated design allows for efficient use of space in control panels and machinery.
