The S5173 is a normally closed (NC) switch designed for normally open (NO) circuit application. Avoid an intruder tampering with your alarm/security systems with this switch. Many types of security equipment can be easily compromised by an intruder who gains access to offices or homes, night or day. In homes they would also be ideal for sheds and electrical boxes. In some larger facilities, such as warehouse clubs or museums, it's possible for a member of the public to go to a remote part of the facility and tamper with some portion of the security system without being noticed. The intent usually is to disable the security system so that the criminal can come back later and commit a burglary or other crime. This can be prevented with an easy to hide switch.
