Sensor and Micro Switches — reliable detection and precise switching for machines, appliances and control systems Key benefits Reliable detection and repeatable switching: the sensor provides consistent detection input and the micro switches deliver a fast, mechanical snap action for dependable electrical switching. Reduces downtime and maintenance: robust components and simple installation minimize service intervals and make replacements straightforward. Broad compatibility and easy integration: compact form factors and standard electrical switching characteristics let these parts work with common controllers, relays, and wiring harnesses. Improves safety and control accuracy: precise switching points and predictable sensor response help prevent mistrips and improve machine control. What each part does Sensor Function: detects a change in the environment or system state and outputs a readable signal for control electronics. Compatibility: designed to interface with standard control inputs, PLCs, microcontrollers, and relay circuits. Size and mounting: compact housing for tight spaces; suitable for panel, bracket, or machineframe mounting. Material and durability: engineered from durable enclosure materials with internal components selected for stable performance. Performance: consistent response and repeatability for position, presence or state detection; suitable for continuous operation in typical industrial and commercial applications. Micro Switches Function: mechanically actuated switches that open or close electrical circuits when a lever, button or actuator is moved. Compatibility: standard terminal options for solder, quickconnect, or PCB mounting; works with low and moderatevoltage control circuits. Size and mounting: lowprofile designs for constrained assemblies; options include levered or plunger actuators to match the application. Material and lifespan: metal contact materials and rugged housings for long cycle life and reliable electrical performance. Performance: fast, positive snap action with defined actuation and release points for accurate endoftravel detection and control signals. Practical applications and use scenarios Industrial machinery limit detection: use the sensor to detect position or presence and a micro switch for a clean, mechanical stop signal to a motor controller or safety relay. Consumer appliances and HVAC: micro switches provide reliable door or damperposition feedback while the sensor monitors a state change for control logic. Robotics and automation: compact sensor and micro switches fit into tight assemblies to give repeatable home or limit detection for actuators, arms and endeffectors. DIY and electronics projects: integrate the sensor with microcontroller inputs and use micro switches as user controls, safety interlocks, or mechanical event detectors. Why choose these parts Predictable behavior: defined actuation points and consistent sensor response simplify calibration and control logic. Easy to and integrate: common form factors and electrical interfaces reduce downtime and sparepart complexity. Durable and suitable for repeated cycling: designed for frequent actuation with long operational life under normal use. Installation and selection tips Verify electrical ratings and connector style to match your control circuit. Choose actuator style (lever, roller, plunger) and switch mounting orientation based on the mechanical travel and space constraints. Mount the sensor securely and align with the target to maintain repeatable detection. For safetycritical applications, use the sensor and micro switch as part of a redundant or monitored control scheme per applicable standards. Available as a matched solution for systems requiring reliable detection plus precise mechanical switching, this sensor and micro switch combination delivers practical, serviceable performance across industrial, commercial and hobbyist applications.
