The Safran Power USA 8844K1 (MS24613-A212) is a rugged, environmentally sealed toggle switch designed for dependable control in harsh environments. It’s MS-approved and qualified to MIL-DTL-8834.
It’s used on equipment panels when you need a very positive, consistent “make and break” switching action with low contact bounce. It works well for everything from dry-circuit, logic-level signals up through higher power switching levels.
Installation is simple: it uses one-hole mounting and has molded-in terminal numbers to reduce wiring errors. It’s available with solder-lug terminals or 6-32 screw terminals, including solderable screw terminals.
Internally, wiping-action contacts help keep connections clean and reliable over time. It’s rated for 20,000 cycles at load and up to 40,000 mechanical cycles across a temperature range of -55°C to +71°C, and it comes in 1, 2, or 4 pole configurations with toggle or lever-lock actuator options.
