These switches actuate with the slightest push for a high degree of accuracy. They’re often used for determining manufacturing tolerances and detecting minute expansions and contractions.

Sealed actuators prevent these switches from jamming, even when exposed to oil, sand, mud, or ice. They send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects. To actuate, they require a push, similar to a button. Rated IP68, they’re protected against dust and temporary submersion.

Switches with a stainless steel housing stand up better to wear and tear and corrosion better than switches with a zinc-plated steel housing.

These switches actuate with the slightest push for a high degree of accuracy. All are rated IP67 for protection from wet locations and temporary submersion. They’re often used for determining manufacturing tolerances and detecting minute expansions and contractions.

Keep out dirt and moisture—the sealed housing on these switches is watertight and meet MIL-PRF-8805. They’re sized to fit in the tiniest of spaces. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.

Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.

Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers.
