Since they open or close an electrical circuit in no time, snap-action micro switches are used in home appliances, safety equipment, industrial machinery and other applications involving a valve that opens and/or shuts to perform specific functions. Find sub-miniature, miniature and general purpose snap action switches from top manufacturers.
Snap Action Switches (also called microswitches) are switch devices that can open and/or close an electrical circuit at a rapid speed. They take very little pressure or force to operate. Usually these switches are triggered by an external force, either human or by physical object, applied to the actuator. “Snap Action” occurs because of the rapid movement of the spring-assisted moving contacts from one position to another, independent of the actuator speed.
Actuator styles available for snap action switches include lever, pushbutton, and roller. Lever actuators can be straight or formed levers. A pushbutton actuator is sometimes called plunger style. A roller style actuator can be actual roller or simulated roller.
