1478606-4

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are used in a wide variety of devices to control the flow of electric current between two sources. They are typically positioned at the end of a device and either open or close a circuit when triggered. The 1478606-4 model is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) device that can be used in a wide variety of applications to control and monitor electrical devices.

Design

The 1478606-4 features a rugged construction design, with a black plastic case and raised metal momentary contacts that provide secure electrical connection. The device includes both a normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact configuration, allowing for easy switching between states.

Application Field

The 1478606-4 can be used for a wide range of applications, including motion control, mobile equipment, industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and other electric-powered devices. The most common applications of the device include monitoring and controlling the flow of electricity in vehicles, pumps, fans, conveyors, and more.

Working Principle

When triggered, the 1478606-4 creates a momentary connection between two sources, momentarily connecting them and allowing for the control or monitoring of electrical processes. The device is triggered by a current of 5mA or more, closing or opening the internal contacts in order to switch between the NO and NC states. Once the trigger is released, the contacts return to their previous positions.

Sizing

Due to the compact size of the 1478606-4, it is easy to integrate into a variety of applications. The device measures 53.6mm x 28.6mm and weighs just 20g, making it one of the smallest and lightest of its kind on the market.

Conclusion

The 1478606-4 is a reliable, high-performance snap action, limit switch designed for a wide variety of applications. With its rugged construction, small size, and easy-to-use SPDT contact configuration, the device provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for controlling and monitoring the flow of electric current between two sources.
