Overhead Door Contact UL is an overhead door contact from our series of commercial contacts. Just like other commercial contacts we carry, the Overhead Door Contact UL can withstand power surges up to 2400VDC. As the Overhead Door Contact UL is a commercial contact, you will install the device in areas that are more prone to lightning strikes or power surges. If the contact did not have the  surge protection, a nearby lightning strike could easily fuse the internal contact of the device so that when the magnet is moved away from the contact, an alarm is not activated.
