Panel-Mount Snap Action Switch
The ZORO SELECT 6A887 is a panel-mounted snap action switch with a plunger actuator and SPDT contact form. It is designed for machinery and machine-shop applications that require a reliable electromechanical interlock or limit stop. The switch handles 15 A at 240 V AC and uses 1/4 in quick-connect terminals for wiring. Its 1.00 in mounting centres suit standard panel cut-outs.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous operation the contacts are rated for 15 A at 240 V AC, so the switch carries full load without derating for duty cycle. The snap action mechanism provides consistent make-and-break timing over repeated cycles, reducing contact bounce in sustained use. Quick-connect terminals maintain a stable connection when vibration is present. No auxiliary cooling or de-rating guidance is supplied.
Build & Connectors
The body measures 0.64 in high, 1.82 in wide and 0.64 in deep, fitting tight panels. Panel mounting with 1.00 in centres allows straightforward alignment during assembly. The 1/4 in quick-connect tabs accept standard crimp receptacles, enabling tool-less field replacement. The plunger actuator provides direct mechanical actuation without a separate lever. The switch is supplied new and unrestricted for sale in any state.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 15 A 240 V switch generate when running continuously?
The snap-action mechanism draws no control power, so heat comes only from the load current through the contacts; at full 15 A the I²R loss is low enough that the 0.64 in body stays near ambient.
What wiring and panel cut-out do I need to install the 6A887?
You need 1/4 in quick-connect terminals on your harness and a panel opening spaced on 1.00 in centres to match the mounting holes.
Will the 0.64 in deep body fit behind the same panel as my old limit switch?
At 0.64 in deep and 1.82 in wide it occupies less space than most legacy plunger switches, so it usually fits the same cut-out.
