RS PRO Roller Lever Subminiature Micro Switch, Solder Terminal, 4A, 250 V ac, 28 V dc, SPCO

RS PRO SPDT Lever Subminiature Microswitch

The precision snaps action for on/off applications is a synonym of Microswitch.
Today, we are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Miniature Micro Switch where current mechanical energy applied to an actuator provides a high-precision electrical output. The actuator type comes as a basic switch with unfitted actuator kit and fining hardware, offering you an impressive temperature operating range of -54°C up to +121°C allowing you full application flexibility.

Features and Benefits

• The Switch provides high switching current
• Where the space is prime, our ultra SPDT Microswitch is here to eliminate the issue
• As a standard, our contact material is silver-plated
• Contact rating: 7 A (resistive), 4 A (inductive), 250 V ac, 28 V dc
• High-precision, presence/absence detection terminal
• Ultra Subminiature and lightweight
• Long operating life
• High temperature designs for up to +400°F (204°C) for up to 100 hours
• Supplied as a basic switch, plus unfitted actuator kit with fixing hardware

Frequently asked questions

• What are microswitches?
• Microswitches are mechanically operated electrical switches designed with an actuator and terminals called common, normally open and normally closed. A microswitch is also known as a snap action switch; they operate by using a spring-loaded lever to open and close a set of internal contacts inside the unit.
• How does a microswitch work?
• Power is typically attached to the common terminal; this leads into the Switch and energises the spring and because the spring is touching the normally close pin it sends power out here, this is called a resting state. Once the arm is moved, the power is then transferred to the normally open pin.
