Safran Electrical & Power 8501K16 Safran Power 8501K16

The 8501K16 is a two-pole, environmentally sealed toggle switch from the 8501 series, compliant with MIL-DTL-3950, designed for military applications with maintained or momentary action. It features thermoset molding materials meeting flame retardant requirements, a temperature range of -85°F to +160°F (-65°C to +71°C), and a mechanical life of 40,000 operations. The switch provides rated current capacity of 20 A resistive and 15 A inductive at 115 VAC, and 11 A resistive and 8 A inductive at 28 VDC for momentary operation. It includes a 15/32"-32 threaded bushing, #6-32 terminal screws with internal tooth lockwashers, and terminal numbering consistent with MS24524-26. Mounting dimensions are specified for panel installation with a 0.480" diameter hole and keyway, and terminal identification follows the standard layout for two-pole switches.
