Micro Switch A compact snap-action switch that reliably detects mechanical movement and switches an electrical circuit. Built for durability and versatile enough for a range of control tasks. Key benefits - Fast, snap-action operation delivers quick, decisive switching with repeatable results. - Small form factor fits into tight spaces and allows flexible mounting. - Robust construction supports frequent actuation with long service life. - Broad compatibility with standard control circuits and mounting methods. - Simple integration with a variety of actuators and lever configurations. What this product is - A miniature electrical switch that changes its contact state when the actuator is moved, providing a clear and repeatable signal for control systems. Function and performance - The actuator movement triggers a rapid contact change, delivering reliable signaling and reducing chances of missed state changes. - Designed for repeatable performance across many cycles in typical control environments. Size and materials - Compact housing suitable for confined installations. - Durable internal contacts and housing designed for regular use; material details vary by model and are described in the product datasheet. Compatibility - Intended for general purpose control circuits and common mounting arrangements. - Suitable for standard wiring practices; verify compatibility with your specific electrical ratings and mounting requirements. Applications and use scenarios - End-of-travel or limit sensing in machinery, robots, or automation equipment. - Door, lid, or panel interlock switches in appliances or office equipment. - Position sensing in DIY electronics, control panels, or prototyping projects requiring a mechanical input. Installation and usage notes - Check and match the electrical rating, terminal configuration, and mounting style to your application. - Align the actuator with the moving part to ensure reliable actuation and avoid mis-triggering. - Follow manufacturer guidelines for installation, replacement intervals, and safety considerations.
