Multicomp Pro SPDT Microswitch with Pin Plunger, 2A 12V

The Multicomp Pro MP006228 is a high-quality, snap-action microswitch featuring a long, left-sided pin plunger actuator. This robust and compact switch is engineered for precise, reliable operation in a wide array of control and sensing applications, offering dependable performance where accurate actuation is essential.

Constructed for durability, it utilises a snap-action mechanism that provides a crisp, positive switching action with minimal contact bounce. The pin plunger actuator is designed for direct, perpendicular force application, making it ideal for applications with limited space or specific actuation requirements.

Key Features and Applications

With a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration, this microswitch offers versatile circuit control, allowing for both normally open and normally closed connections. Its left-angled PC pin terminals facilitate straightforward and secure PCB mounting, ensuring a reliable electrical connection in automated assembly processes.

Rated for a maximum contact current of 2A at 12V DC, it is suitable for low-power control circuits. The switch is commonly employed in the automotive industry for functions like door interlock sensing, in various household appliances, and within vacuum cleaners for brush roll or suction control.

Specifications

• Operating Force: Requires a maximum of 75 grams-force (75gf) to actuate.
• Total Travel: The plunger has a total travel distance of 5.1mm.
• Compact Dimensions: Measures just 43mm (H) x 33mm (W) x 15mm (D), allowing for installation in confined spaces.
• Lightweight Design: Weighs a mere 0.763 grams, minimising added mass to assemblies.
• Terminal Type: Left-angled PC pins for direct printed circuit board soldering.
