Multicomp Pro SMD Detector Switch without Post, SPST-NO, 5V DC, 10mA

The Multicomp Pro SMD Detector Switch without Post is a compact and reliable surface-mount device designed for precise detection applications in modern electronics. This SPST-NO (Single Pole, Single Throw - Normally Open) switch operates at a low voltage of 5V DC and a maximum current of 10mA, making it ideal for sensitive circuits. Its primary function is to act as a detector, perfect for implementing open/detection sequences or non-battery (NB) power-off functions in a variety of equipment.

Constructed for surface-mount technology (SMD), this switch allows for efficient, high-density PCB assembly without the need for through-hole mounting. The 'without post' design offers a low-profile solution, saving valuable space within tight enclosures. With a very light operating force of just 35gf maximum, it ensures responsive and reliable actuation while minimising mechanical stress.

Key Applications

This detector switch is commonly utilised in consumer electronics for functions like lid or door detection. It is also a trusted component in medical devices, where reliable detection is critical for safety and operational integrity. Its specifications make it suitable for any application requiring a compact, low-power detection solution.
