It is made up of four pins that control two poles. Both the hot and neutral sides of the switch pass through it, and the 5th pin must be connected to one of the output sides in order for the internal electromagnet to engage when the "on" button is pressed. As a result, if the incoming power is cut off, the magnetic field is broken, and the switch is turned off. When power is restored, this prevents the appliance or tool it controls from turning back on. I hope this information is useful.
It appears to be quite secure, but it isn't designed for use in wet or outdoor environments. YMMV.
As long as the table saw's starting amperage does not exceed the switch's rating, this magnetic switch will function flawlessly. br>A magnetic switch is ideal for equipment because if the switch loses power, it automatically opens the circuit, preventing the equipment from turning back on when the power is restored.
There is insufficient space in 5/8.

For small motors, this is a good unit. It can handle up to 16 amps, or about 1 HP, but that may be pushing it. I've got it running on a 1/2 HP motor on a scroll saw I restored, and it's fantastic. Similar to its more expensive big brothers, it prevents the tool from restarting after a power outage. However, there are a few points to consider:
1. If you want to mount it in an electrical box, you'll need one with a lot of depth. To achieve the required depth, I used a regular outdoor box with an extension.
2. In order to accommodate the rectangular cutout required, you'll also need to make a face plate for the box.
3. A crimping tool and female spade connectors are required. br>br>My only criticism of the switch is that the power failure sensor is not built-in. You must connect an external spade lug to one of the supply or load lines, and the lug used for the sensor is smaller, despite the fact that I used the same female connector on both supply and load lines. I don't understand why they didn't just connect it internally.
It's as if it were made for you. My concrete mixer is around ten years old, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacement switch. It is a perfect fit. br>I'm not sure about the warning about keeping it away from water; it has all of the protective seals needed to be water proof or water resistant, and it appears to have been designed specifically for my concrete mixer, which couldn't function without it.
An IMER MinuteMan cement mixer's switch that was no longer latching had to be replaced. Because the button guard made it easy to turn on but difficult to turn off, the original switch was designed incorrectly. When you look at this replacement switch, you'll notice that the button guard is in place-- It is now easier to switch off than it is to turn on. This switch fits perfectly and is electrically identical to the previous one.
I'm going to put these on all of my stationary shop tools that don't have one already. They're small enough to fit in a standard light switch connection box, which I like. In my Grizzly band saw and Taiwan drill press, this is a direct replacement.
With the existing broken TRIPUS TP02AS on my cement mixer, this replacement worked exactly like the original. The hole for mounting was also functional.
As a triple, it's difficult to mount, but I like how it works with the panic button.
In my Kobalt cement mixer, this is what I used. So far, there have been no problems with the product.
