Vulcan 00-499340-00001 Lever Strike Arm Micro Switch

Product Description

The VULCAN 00-499340-00001 is a lever strike arm micro switch designed for use in commercial cooking and foodservice equipment. This actuator-style microswitch detects door position by engaging a lever arm against a strike surface, sending a signal to the control circuit when the door opens or closes. It serves as a key safety and operational component, cutting power to heating elements or activating interlocks based on door state. Licensed appliance service technicians and commercial kitchen equipment repair professionals are the primary installers of this part.

This micro switch is intended for commercial foodservice appliance applications where door-position sensing is required. It functions as a door microswitch actuator, triggering control circuit responses during open and closed door conditions. Typical installation scenarios include commercial ovens, ranges, and similar Vulcan commercial appliance platforms where the original lever strike arm switch has failed or requires replacement as part of a scheduled service.
