Typical Cams

Typical Cams

The versatility of the Snap-Lock mechanism is achieved with the use of a series of uniquely designed cams.

Cam type
Combination B1/B2 CAM

Built into the standard switch for B1 single action CW, B1 single action CCW and B2 double action CW & CCW sequences.

Cam type
Neutral Position N CAM

Designed for applications requiring a neutral position. Both lever and cam are spring returned to starting position.

Cam type
Maintained Position CAM

Available for maintained contacts with one-direction or either-direction operation depending on the cam selected.

Contact Configuration

Operation tables and circuit arrangements

Operation direction, initial position and circuit labels are preserved as a separate reference block.

Contact configuration
CW & CCW Operation

Shown for 1NO/1NC and 2NO/2NC circuits with both clockwise and counterclockwise operation tables.

Contact configuration
CCW Operation Only

Shown for configurations that switch only in counterclockwise operation and return to initial position.

Contact configuration
CW Operation Only

Shown for configurations that switch only in clockwise operation and use the same contact labels.

The PDF shows the contact logic for CW & CCW operation, CCW operation only, CW operation only, and the 1NO/1NC, 2NO/2NC, 4NO, and 4NC circuit diagrams.
Dimensions & Mounting

All dimensions given in Inches.

Standard Wide Long

All dimensions are shown in inches. The drawing sheet covers the standard, wide, and long mounting styles and then identifies the EA780 sliding type and EA790 butt type contact families.

Drawing details

The dimensions include the standard mount body, 48 serrations, pipe tap area, the .495 / .490 O.D. note and the wider long-mount envelope.

How to read it

Start with the mounting style, then confirm the contact type, then verify the width, height and pipe tap values against the enclosure cutout.
