V15W2 SERIES
Basic Switch for Hazardous Locations
DESCRIPTION
MICRO SWITCH V15W2 Series basic
switches are precision snap-action
contact mechanisms enclosed in
plastic cases. Switch actuation triggers
the mechanical closure of the switch’s
contacts. The switches are approved for
use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. While
a small amount of arcing occurs between
the switch contacts during contact
closure, the switch is environmentally
sealed so that flammable gases cannot
enter into the switching cavity. This
minimizes the chances of ignition
of flammable gases in a hazardous
atmosphere.
The ATEX and IEC Ex approvals are:
Ex nC IIA T5 Gc for an ambient
temperature range of 25 °C to +85 °C
per EN/IEC 600790 and
EN/IEC 6007915 via certificates
DEKRA 19ATEX0013U and IEC Ex DEK
17.0053U.

refrigeration units using alternatives
for HFC and HCFCs, specifically
targeting OEMs and Tier white goods
manufacturers transitioning to lower
GHA emission refrigerants (which tend
to be more explosive) per EPA and
other regulatory guidance
• Certified for use in ordinary locations
via UL, cUL (North America), CQC
(AsiaPacific), and ENEC (Europe).
Certified for use in hazardous
locations via ATEX (Europe) and IEC Ex
(International)
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Appliances (especially with new
refrigerants)
