Maximize efficiency in confined spaces with our Subminiature Micro Switch featuring a 13.4mm ultra-compact body. Equipped with a 12.85mm stainless steel hinge lever, this switch provides an ideal balance of mechanical reach and sensitivity for delicate electronic assemblies. Engineered for high-frequency switching, its snap-action mechanism ensures reliable performance in even the smallest mechanical devices.
13.4mm Subminiature Body: The streamlined housing is designed specifically for high-density electronic layouts where space is at a premium.
12.85mm Stainless Steel Hinge Lever: The integrated metal lever provides a smooth actuation surface and reduces the force required to trigger the switch.
Precision PCB Terminals: Features three vertical solder pins (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed) for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards.
Instantaneous Snap-Action: High-quality internal springs provide a crisp tactile response and immediate electrical transition.
Robust Synthetic Construction: The high-impact black housing protects sensitive internal contacts from dust and mechanical vibration.
Integrated Mounting Holes: Includes two precision-molded holes for secure chassis or bracket installation.
This Subminiature 12.85mm Lever Switch is perfect for:
Consumer Electronics: Serving as power or mode selectors in handheld devices, cameras, and remote controls.
Computer Peripherals: Providing high-click-cycle reliability for mouse buttons and keyboard specialized keys.
Smart Home Devices: Sensing lock positions in smart deadbolts or detecting tray movement in compact appliances.
Medical Equipment: Delivering precise feedback in portable diagnostic tools and laboratory instruments.
Body Length: 13.4mm.
Lever Length: 12.85mm.
Actuator Type: Hinge Lever.
Circuitry: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw).
Terminal Type: 3-Pin PCB/Solder Terminals.
Can this switch be used for mains voltage?
Subminiature switches of this size are typically rated for low-voltage signal applications (e.g., 3V to 30V DC). Always verify the specific amperage rating on your PCB to ensure it matches your circuit's load.
Is the lever removable?
The lever is precision-stamped onto the hinge pivot for maximum stability. Removing it is not recommended as it may weaken the actuation mechanism.
How do I mount this to my project?
You can either solder the pins directly into a PCB or use small machine screws through the dual mounting holes for a secure mechanical fit in a custom 3D-printed or metal bracket.
