ME8169 Travel / Limit Switch — 1 pcs, rated 5A / 250V Key benefits Reliable endoftravel detection: Provides a simple mechanical solution to stop motion, trigger alarms, or change motor direction when a moving part reaches a preset position. Protects equipment and improves safety: Prevents overtravel and reduces wear on gears, belts, and actuators by automatically cutting or switching circuits at the limit point. Easy to integrate: Compact design fits into tight assemblies and can be added to existing mechanisms without complex electronics. What this switch does The ME8169 is a standard mechanical travel (limit) switch designed to detect position and make or break electrical circuits at a defined travel point. It is a practical, lowcost component for controlling motion and providing safety cutoffs in many electromechanical applications. Key attributes Model: ME8169 Type: Travel / Limit switch (mechanical) Electrical rating: 5A / 250V Quantity: 1 piece Functionality: Detects endoftravel and actuates circuits when engaged Form factor: Compact design suitable for confined spaces Performance: Robust mechanical action for consistent switching at the set travel point Why customers choose this switch Straightforward functionality for reliable position sensing without programming or sensors Compact and durable enough for routine use in machinery and appliances Sufficient current and voltage rating for many control and signal circuits Typical use cases Motor and actuator endoftravel detection: Use as a safety cutoff or to reverse motor direction in small conveyors, linear actuators, or garage mechanisms. Appliance and equipment position sensing: Detect door or lid positions on appliances, vending machines, or service panels to enable or disable functions. Industrial controls and prototypes: Integrate into control panels, machines, or test rigs where a mechanical limit switch is needed for position feedback or safety interlocks. Installation and compatibility notes Singlepiece supply: 1 pcs ME8169 included. Ensure the switch rating (5A / 250V) matches the circuit requirements before use. Mount in a secure location where the actuator can be reliably engaged by the moving part. Follow standard wiring and safety practices when connecting to power and control circuits. This ME8169 travel/limit switch is a straightforward, dependable component for adding mechanical position detection and protection to a wide range of electromechanical systems.
