Enhance your automation accuracy with our Miniature Micro Switch with 16.7mm Lever. This compact limit switch features a mid-length stainless steel hinge lever designed to bridge the gap between short-stroke plungers and extra-long actuators. The 16.7mm lever provides a balanced mechanical advantage, offering reliable actuation with moderate force, making it ideal for general-purpose sensing in industrial and consumer electronics.
16.7mm Stainless Steel Lever: The mid-length hinge actuator provides a stable contact point for mechanical triggers, cams, and sliding parts.
Instantaneous Snap-Action: Engineered with a high-quality internal spring mechanism for rapid electrical switching and a distinct tactile "click".
Versatile SPDT Circuitry: Equipped with three standard terminals—Common (COM), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC)—to suit any wiring configuration.
Robust Synthetic Housing: Encased in a durable, flame-retardant black shell that protects internal components from dust and mechanical vibration.
High-Conductivity Terminals: Features silver-plated spade terminals for secure soldering or easy connection with standard crimp-on quick disconnects.
Standard Mounting Holes: Includes two pre-drilled chassis mounting holes for stable, shift-free installation in brackets or control panels.
This 16.7mm Lever Micro Switch is a go-to solution for:
Home Appliances: Sensing door positions in microwave ovens, washing machines, or refrigerators.
Office Equipment: Detecting paper jams or tray positions in printers, scanners, and copiers.
Automated Vending: Triggering product delivery cycles or sensing coin mechanism movements.
Security Systems: Serving as a tamper switch for control panels and equipment enclosures.
Actuator Type: 16.7mm Stainless Steel Hinge Lever.
Circuit Logic: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw).
Housing Material: High-Impact Black Synthetic.
Connection: 3-Pin Spade Terminals.
Installation: Dual-Hole Chassis Mount.
When should I use a 16.7mm lever over a longer one?
The 16.7mm lever is perfect for applications with limited space where you still need more reach than a standard plunger. It offers a higher actuation force than a 52mm lever, making it less prone to accidental triggers from vibration.
Can the metal lever be removed?
The lever is securely integrated into the hinge mechanism for durability. While it can technically be removed, doing so may damage the hinge pivot. If you need a plunger-style switch, we recommend purchasing the dedicated pin-plunger model.
How do I wire this for "Push-to-Break" logic?
To create a circuit that turns OFF when the lever is pressed, connect your wires to the Common (COM) terminal and the Normally Closed (NC) terminal.
