Snap-action switch
Microswitch with various actuator options
Microprecision, the Swiss manufacturer of precision microswitches for demanding applications, is now introducing the versatile MP83 snap-action switch for general use.
The new MP83 snap-action switch in miniature format (V3) is UL/EN certified for an output of 250 VAC/16 A and designed for operating temperatures from -60 °C to +130 °C. With its connection terminals and IP40 degree of protection, it complements the MP300 series, wired and with IP67 degree of protection, with cost-effective variants.
The normal actuating force of the switch is 0.8 N. There is also a variant with increased actuating force for applications that require this. This variant also allows the use of a telescopic plunger, with or without a roller. Various easy-to-use lever actuators are available for both versions of the switch. These can be straight, with roller or with simulating roller and are simply clipped onto the switch. The three freely selectable mounting positions offer the flexibility to adapt switching forces and travel to specific requirements. The switch is designed as a changeover contact (SPDT). Connection is convenient via the 6.3 x 0.8 mm quick-connect terminals. The mechanical service life is up to 20 million cycles.
With its wide range of actuators, the MP83 can be used universally. It is a particularly good choice when IP67 protection is not required and the cost criterion is paramount. Examples of applications can be found in the transportation, machine, automation, appliance and process industries, to name but a few.
