Multicomp Pro Snap Action Micro Switch, SPDT, 12V DC, 250V AC, 3A, 1.3N

The Multicomp Pro Snap Action Micro Switch is a precision-engineered, double-throw electrical component designed for applications demanding reliable switching action within a compact form factor. It operates on 12V DC and can handle up to 250V AC, with a maximum current rating of 3A, making it suitable for a wide range of low-voltage and mains-voltage control circuits.

This switch features a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration, providing a common terminal that can be connected to either of two other terminals. This versatility allows it to be used in circuits requiring a changeover function, such as selecting between two power sources or activating an alternate signal path. The actuation is provided by a pin plunger actuator, offering precise and responsive triggering from mechanical movement.

Constructed for durability and long service life, its snap-action mechanism ensures a quick, clean break and make of the electrical contacts, which minimises arcing and contact wear. The switch terminals are wire leaded for straightforward soldered connections into your project or assembly.
