Upgrade your mechanical automation with the KW-7-5 Miniature Micro Switch, designed for high-current reliability and smooth actuation. This heavy-duty limit switch features a 27.9mm stainless steel curved lever—also known as a simulated roller—which reduces friction during engagement with cams or sliding parts.
High Current Handling: Engineered to manage significant electrical loads, featuring certified ratings for 16A and 8A at 250V AC.
27.9mm Curved Hinge Lever: The simulated roller tip ensures smooth mechanical transitions, making it ideal for applications where parts slide across the actuator.
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Fully compliant with international safety standards, displaying CE, CQC, and UL-recognized markings.
Precision Snap-Action Mechanism: Provides instantaneous contact switching with a crisp tactile click, ensuring highly accurate position detection.
3-Pin SPDT Configuration: Equipped with Common (COM), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) spade terminals for versatile wiring.
Heat-Resistant Grey Housing: The durable synthetic casing is built to withstand high-use environments and mechanical stress.
Heavy-Duty Appliances: Perfect for safety interlocks in microwave ovens, industrial heaters, and large vending machines.
Cam-Operated Machinery: Used in automated systems where a rotating cam or sliding track triggers a mechanical response.
Industrial Safety Interlocks: Providing reliable cut-off sensing for machine guards and access panels.
Actuator: 27.9mm Curved (Simulated Roller) Hinge Lever.
Current Ratings: 16A / 8A / 0.6A / 0.3A (Voltage dependent).
Voltage Capacity: Supports up to 250V AC and 250V DC.
Can this replace a 6A switch?
Absolutely! Because this switch is rated for up to 16A, it can safely replace any lower-rated micro switch (like a 6A or 8A model), providing a superior safety margin for your circuit.
What is the benefit of the curve on the lever?
The curve (simulated roller) allows the switch to be activated by a sliding force without the lever "snagging". This makes it much more durable than a straight lever for cam-driven applications.
Are the terminals easy to connect?
Yes, the right-angle spade terminals are designed to fit standard female quick-disconnect crimp connectors, allowing for a secure, solderless installation.
