Snap action, limit switches have been in existence for decades, but the development of new technologies and changes in consumer needs have led to the ongoing development of new and improved products. 12CX5A is an example of a snap action, limit switch that has been designed to improve safety and reliability in a variety of applications.

What is 12CX5A?

12CX5A is a miniature, snap-action, limit switch. It is available in three different sizes and can be mounted on a variety of surfaces. The 12CX5A is designed for durable operation in harsh environments and has a wide range of operating temperatures. It is ideal for switching and controlling applications that require a reliable and durable switch.

12CX5A Application Field and Working Principle

The 12CX5A is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as safety switches, limit switches, and process automation. It is most commonly used in commercial and industrial applications such as door locks, alarm systems, and access control systems.

The 12CX5A is a snap-action, single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. It consists of two sets of contacts, a set of normally open contacts and a set of normally closed contacts. The switch uses a snap-action mechanism to open and close the contacts, ensuring reliability and accuracy. It is actuated by a plunger, pressure plate, lever, or other mechanical device. When the plunger is activated, it trips a spring-loaded armature, which opens and closes the contacts.

The 12CX5A can be wired in many different ways to control two different circuits. In the momentary position, the switch acts as a single-pole, single-throw switch, allowing one circuit to be activated at a time. The 12CX5A can also be wired in the form of what is known as a "pump switch", where the switch\'s outputs are connected together in a way that allows the device to control two separate outputs, each in the opposite direction. This can be used to control motors, for example.

The 12CX5A features several safety features, such as overvoltage and overload protection, shock protection, and the ability to withstand a wide range of operating temperatures without fail. It has a double-break mechanism, which ensures that even in the event of a fault, the switch will stay in the same position. It also has a mechanically-latched base, which helps to prevent accidental actuation of the switch.

The 12CX5A is an excellent choice for a number of applications. Its small size, wide range of operating temperatures and various safety features make it an ideal choice in the demanding world of industrial and commercial applications.
