Most standard industrial limit switches are rated for 5 to 15 amps at 250V AC, but miniature or specialty switches may support as low as 1 amp, while heavy-duty versions can handle 20 amps or more. The maximum current a limit switch can handle safely depends on its design, contact rating, and application type. It is important to choose a switch with a current rating that matches or exceeds the expected current in the circuit where it will be used. Manufacturers define current ratings based on the switch's design, contact. A Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series, Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series, or Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series switch, depending on features needed, is recommended as a replacement. The Cisco ® Industrial Ethernet 2000 (IE 2000) Series is a range of compact, ruggedized access switches that. Higher currents are hard on a switch. Higher voltages don't necessarily put a lot more stress on a switch.
