Optimize your automated systems with our Subminiature Micro Switch, featuring an 18.6mm compact body and an extended 20.2mm simulated roller lever. This specialized actuator design reduces friction during mechanical triggering, allowing for smoother operation when used with cams or sliding tracks. Engineered with a vibrant red plunger for high-visibility actuation, this switch is the perfect choice for precision sensing in tight electronic enclosures.
18.6mm Compact Body: Specifically designed for high-density layouts and portable devices where every millimeter of space is critical.
20.2mm Simulated Roller Lever: The curved metal tip mimics roller behavior, reducing wear on the triggering component and providing a smooth mechanical transition.
Red Snap-Action Plunger: High-contrast plunger ensures immediate electrical response and provides clear visual feedback of the switch state.
3-Pin PCB Terminals: Features standard vertical solder pins for direct integration onto printed circuit boards or for secure wire soldering.
Precision SPDT Logic: Includes Common (COM), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) contacts for versatile circuit design.
Durable Chassis Mounting: Equipped with two pre-molded mounting holes for stable, vibration-resistant installation.
This Simulated Roller Subminiature Switch is highly effective for:
Smart Home Locks: Detecting bolt positions or handle turns with minimal mechanical resistance.
Small Appliances: Sensing lid closure or internal tray positioning in compact kitchen tools.
Office Equipment: Monitoring paper passage or tray levels in desktop printers and scanners.
Precision Prototyping: Acting as a high-sensitivity endstop for small-scale 3D printers and CNC machines.
Body Length: 18.6mm.
Lever Length: 20.2mm
Actuator Type: Simulated Roller Hinge Lever.
Terminal Type: 3-Pin PCB Solder Pins.
What is the benefit of a "simulated roller" over a standard lever?
The simulated roller tip has a smooth, curved surface. Unlike a flat lever that might "dig in" to a moving part, the simulated roller allows the triggering cam to glide over the actuator, reducing friction and mechanical wear.
Can this switch be used with standard breadboards?
The pins are designed for PCB mounting. While they may fit some breadboards, they are best suited for permanent soldering or using small female crimp connectors.
How long will the lever last before bending?
The 20.2mm lever is made of high-tensile stainless steel designed to withstand thousands of cycles without losing its original shape.
