Mechanical “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” Interlock Switch
Rugged pull-to-actuate, latching switch adapted for aviation/UAS ground use. A top eyelet holds a red “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” streamer; pulling or inserting it delivers a clear electrical state for arm/disarm, maintenance lockout, or test permission. Once tripped, the mechanism stays latched until manually reset via the front push-button. Mixed NO/NC contacts allow flexible wiring (“safe inserted” vs. “ready when removed”) in low-voltage control circuits (e.g., 12–48 VDC). Sealed, durable housing for hangar environments; easy panel/chassis mounting. Ideal for UAV arming, ignition inhibit, power isolation, and GSE/bench safety interlocks.
Overview
Rugged rope-pull, latching switch adapted for ground and hangar operations in aviation/UAS. A top eyelet holds a “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” streamer: pulling or inserting the tag gives an unmistakable electrical signal for arm/disarm, maintenance lockout, or test authorization.
Pull-to-actuate: the RBF tag works like a mechanical key.
Positive latching: once tripped, the mechanism stays latched until manually reset via the front push-button.
Independent NO/NC contacts: wire logic as “safety in / safety out” to suit your system.
High visibility: the red tag prevents oversights and shows status at a glance to ground crews.
UAV/UAS: arming/disarming flight controllers, inhibiting ignition, isolating power during bench work.
Aircraft maintenance: interlock for test stands, purges, actuators, hydraulics, or propellers.
GSE & benches: permission/stop signaling for procedures, checklists, and mechanical LOTO.
Metal eyelet for the “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” streamer.
Manual reset push-button (prevents vibration-induced re-arming).
Sealed, durable housing for repeated ground use.
Flexible wiring thanks to combined NO/NC contacts.
Easy panel/chassis mounting with standard hardware.
Action: pull activation with mechanical latching + manual reset.
Contacts: mixed NC and NO for safety loops and state signaling.
Typical electrical use: low-voltage control circuits (e.g., 12–48 VDC).
Environment: dust/splash-resistant; intended for ground operation.
