Multicomp Pro Snap Action Microswitch SPDT Long Hinge Lever 2A 12V

Multicomp Pro Snap Action Microswitch is an SPDT microswitch with a long hinge lever actuator and a 2A 12V rating, designed for reliable, repeatable switching across a wide range of applications.

Overview

This snap action microswitch provides a precise and distinct tactile response when activated, making it suitable for detecting position, presence or limit. Its robust construction is intended to deliver dependable switching for both low-power circuits and control systems.

Key Features

• Single pole, double throw (SPDT) contact configuration
• Normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) connections, allowing control of two signal paths with a single switch activation
• Long hinge lever actuator that extends the point of contact, allowing actuation from a distance or at an angle
• Long posts on the left side of the switch body for stable mounting
• Compact form factor for precise operation

Applications

The long hinge lever is well suited to situations where direct, perpendicular force application is not possible. Typical applications include vehicle controls, dashboard switches, door interlocks, domestic equipment such as washing machines, microwaves and power tools, control panels, machinery, vending machines and vacuum cleaners, where it can detect when a dustbin or cover is correctly closed.
