How to Choose the Right Micro Switch?

How to choose the right micro switch? 

    Microswitch is one of the important components of electronic and electrical equipment, widely used in household appliances, vehicles, communications, aviation and other areas. Selecting the right microswitch is very important in every application scenario. This article will explain in detail how to choose the right micro switch so that you can easily buy the most suitable product.

    Types of microswitches

    According to their structure, microswitches can be divided into direct-action switches and spring switches. Direct action microswitches are controlled by microlevers to switch from one position to another. Torsion spring microswitch USES an internal source action to change the switch.

   In addition, microswitches may be checked according to rated voltage, rated current, switch type and other factors. When selecting a microswitch, select the appropriate product according to the specific needs of different applications.

   Second, there are many types of microswitches, and there are two common types: usually an open switch and usually a closed switch. Usually the open type means that the switch is on when no one is working, and usually the closed type is the opposite. When purchasing a microswitch, the required type of switch shall be determined according to specific requirements.

  Determine the rated voltage and rated current

  Rated voltage and rated current are the main parameters of micro-switches, which have different rated voltage and rated current. When selecting a microswitch, select the appropriate product according to the required rated voltage and rated current.

  Establish contact material

  The touch material of the microswitch determines the duration and efficiency of the switch. Frequently used materials contain silver alloys, copper alloys, gold alloys, etc. When selecting a micro-switch, you must select the appropriate material based on specific application scenarios and requirements.

  Determine mobile power and range

  Motion force is the force to be applied when a microswitch is in operation, and the route is the distance between the microswitch and the switch from one position to another. When selecting a microswitch, you must select the appropriate traffic force and route depending on the specific stage of application and the need.

  Attention to the environment

  It is also important that environmental adaptation in microdynamic switches is selected on the basis of environmental elements in specific applications. For example, microswitches used in a wet environment should be selected with a waterproofing function.
