Comus S1116 Tilt/Tip Switch Assembly (Normally Closed) for reliable orientation/tilt detection.
Rated to 240Vac with 12.5A @ 120Vac switching, 1500W capacity and a 35° ±10° operating angle.
Encapsulated polypropylene body with 2 × 17AWG silicone-insulated leads.
Overview
The S1116 Tilt/Tip Switch Assembly from the Comus Group of Companies is a robust, encapsulated
tilt-activated switch designed for applications where a simple, dependable “tilt-to-switch” function is required.
As a Normally Closed device, it changes state when the unit moves through its specified operating angle, making it
suitable for safety interlocks, tip-over protection, orientation sensing and equipment shut-off functions.
Built with an encapsulated polypropylene housing and supplied with durable silicone-insulated flying leads,
the S1116 is intended for real-world installations where vibration, handling and temperature variation can be factors.
With a wide switching capability and a defined operating angle window, it provides a straightforward hardware solution
that can reduce complexity compared to electronic tilt sensing in many designs.
