How it works

The Morris 70420 operates as a door-actuated plunger switch that opens or closes a circuit depending on door position. When the door closes and depresses the plunger, the internal SPST contacts change state and control the connected load.

• Plunger-style actuator intended for frame-mounted installation

Electrical ratings

Use the 70420 within its verified current and voltage limits to ensure safe operation.

Typical applications

The 70420 is intended for automatic switching where a door movement should control a light or other load.

• Closet and cabinet lighting
• Appliance interior lights
• Other simple on/off door-actuated circuits

Mounting and wiring guidance

Mount the switch so the plunger is depressed when the door is closed. Wire the switch in series with the load so the switch opens or closes the circuit as the door moves.

• Install in the door frame with actuator aligned to engage when the door is closed
• Wire the SPST switch in series with the load conductor
• Confirm wiring and installation comply with local electrical codes and safety standards

Before You Order

Confirm the model number and quantity required before ordering. Verify the 10A/125VAC or 10A/250VAC ratings match your load and that a plunger-style, frame-mounted door switch suits your application.

• Confirm the 70420 is the correct actuator style and electrical rating for your installation
• Ensure installation and wiring meet local codes; consult a licensed electrician if uncertain
