This week, Korean Hroparts Elec, a supplier for LCSC Electronics, provided us with an overview of the waterproof micro switch. The article covers its features, principles, and applications.
Electronic products and switches are constantly evolving, making our lives more convenient. Among them, waterproof micro switches are particularly useful in humid environments. They come in various types of terminals, leads, and pressure handles. As a result, they have a wide range of applications.
The waterproof micro switch is a one-circuit double-contact switch. It utilizes the specified stroke and operating force to toggle the switch between the normally open and normally closed positions. It consists of a base, an upper cover, internal reeds, contacts, etc., and an optional driving rod on the outside. It is through the mechanical movement of the contacts that the switch functions.
Waterproof Micro Switch Features:
The switch has a feature of small size, good sealing, complete terminal blocks, good waterproof performance, various outlet methods, and variable wire length.
- Stable sealing is achieved through a rubber sealing ring and epoxy resin filling. Suitable in places subject to water or dust.
- There are complete types of terminal blocks. Available for equipped with various terminals and wires.
- Equipped with various types of pressing handles.
Waterproof Micro Switch Working Principle:
The external mechanical force exerts force on the action reed through the transmission element (button, rod, reed, etc.). An instantaneous action will occur when the reed switch reaches the critical point. It allows the movable contact at the end of the action reed to quickly connect or disconnect the fixed contact.
It will generate a reverse force on the action spring when eliminating the force from the transmission part. Once the reverse stroke of the transmission element reaches the critical point of the spring’s action, the reverse action quickly completes. The micro switch has small contact spacing, small pressing power, short action stroke, and fast switching.
Waterproof Micro Switch Application:
It finds applications in automobiles, vending machines, refrigerators, ice machines, bathroom equipment, water heaters, air conditioners, and other occasions with environmental resistance requirements, as well as outdoor equipment and instruments.
The Waterproof micro switch also has different classifications, including ultra-small, small, normally open, normally closed, etc. It is suitable in places with water or dust and has a waterproof rating of IP67.
