Description
These miniature microswitches with levers are rated up to 2A and suitable for logic and low power switching.
PACKAGE INCLUDES:
- Qty 5 – Miniature Microswitch with Lever SPDT 2A
KEY FEATURES OF MINIATURE MICROSWITCH WITH LEVER SPDT 2A:
- Microswitch with lever
- Single Pole / Double Throw (SPDT) operation
- Rated for up to 125VAC @ 2V
These are 3-terminal SPDT type switches with a C (Common), NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) connections.
When the switch is open the C and NC terminals make contact. When the switch is closed by depressing the lever the C and NO terminals make contact.
Solder pins are on 5.08mm (0.2″) centers. The lever is 13mm long. There are 2 small holes that can be used for mounting with small screws if desired.
OUR EVALUATION RESULTS:
These work well for logic level switching or for light duty power switching. We have tested these switches at 2A @ 12VDC and they have a good snap-action operation. Switch operation occurs after about 2mm travel of the lever.
These are designed to be mounted on a PCB or the pins can be soldered to with smaller wire. The pins are not long enough to make good contact with a solderless breadboard unless they are extended.
Notes:
- None
