The Miniature Micro Switch is engineered for demanding industrial and domestic applications that require high-current capacity and extended mechanical reach. Featuring a 28mm stainless steel hinge lever, this snap-action limit switch provides a lower actuation force and a wider triggering range, making it the perfect solution for heavy machinery, appliances, and automated control systems.
High Current Handling: Built to manage significant electrical loads, with certified ratings for 16A and 8A applications.
28mm Hinge Lever Actuator: The extended metal lever allows for reliable triggering across larger gaps and provides mechanical advantage for smoother actuation.
Precise Snap-Action Mechanism: Internal contacts provide an instantaneous response with a crisp tactile "click," ensuring accurate position detection every time.
Versatile SPDT Circuitry: Standard 3-terminal configuration (COM, NO, NC) offers flexible wiring options for normally open or normally closed logic.
Robust Grey Housing: The flame-retardant synthetic shell is designed to withstand high temperatures and mechanical stress in harsh environments.
Large Appliances: Ideal for door interlocks and motor control in microwaves, washing machines, and HVAC units.
Industrial Limit Control: Detecting the position of heavy-duty conveyor belts, sliding gates, and safety guards.
Power Tools: Serving as a durable internal trigger or safety cut-off switch for industrial equipment.
Actuator: 28mm Stainless Steel Hinge Lever.
Current Ratings: 16A / 8A / 0.6A / 0.3A (Voltage dependent).
Voltage Capacity: Supports up to 250V AC and 250V DC.
Terminals: 3-Pin Right-Angle Spade Terminals.
What is the difference between the KW-7-0 and KW-7-1?
Uses a standard top plunger for direct contact, while the KW-7-1 includes an extended 28mm lever for increased reach and sensitivity.
Can I use this for DC projects?
Yes, however, the current rating is significantly lower for DC applications (e.g., 0.3A at 250V DC) compared to AC (16A at 250V AC). Always check the label on the switch to match your project's voltage.
How do I mount this switch?
The switch features two standardized mounting holes that allow for secure attachment using screws to any machine chassis or custom 3D-printed bracket.
