George Risk Industries 4463A Mini Surface Mount Dpdt Switch

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 4463A is a miniature surface-mount double-pole double-throw (DPDT) contact switch supplied with an 18-inch armored cable. Designed for security and access control applications, this switch detects door, window, or panel position and signals a control panel or relay circuit when the contact state changes. The armored cable provides mechanical protection to the lead wires in installations where exposed wiring is subject to abrasion or physical damage. Licensed security and low-voltage alarm technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The 4463A is suited for residential and light commercial security system installations. Its compact, miniature form factor allows mounting in tight spaces on door frames, window frames, cabinet panels, or access hatches. The surface-mount design eliminates the need for routing wires through the frame itself, simplifying retrofit installations. The 18-inch armored cable accommodates most standard door and frame gap distances without extension.

Key Features

• Double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switching configuration for versatile circuit control
• Miniature surface-mount form factor fits tight or restricted mounting locations
• 18-inch armored cable protects lead wires from abrasion and physical damage
• Sold as a single unit for individual point protection
• Suitable for door, window, cabinet, and access panel monitoring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount DPDT contact switch for use with standard security alarm and access control panels that accept hardwired contact inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or alarm system technicians in accordance with local code requirements. De-energize the control panel circuit before making any wiring connections to this device. Secure the switch body flush to the mounting surface and verify proper contact gap alignment with the mating magnet before finalizing the installation. Avoid sharp bends in the armored cable that could compromise the internal conductors.
