1478670-7

1478670-7 is a type of snap action, limit switch. This switch is aided in its functioning by the use of a plunger that is made from plastic or metal. It is therefore classified as friction-style limit switch. This switch is designed for use on light commercial and heavy industrial applications and is long-lasting and reliable in continuous duty. A typical application for a 1478670-7 switch would be in the air conditioner industry, where the switch can activate fans, convectors, and other HVAC system components.The working principle of the 1478670-7 switch is based on the concept of snap action. That is, when a resistance force of a prescribed value is overcome, the switch will experience an abrupt change in its state. For example, when a user presses on the plunger of the switch, the lever inside changes its position, and a corresponding change in the on/off state of the switch is seen.The 1478670-7 switch is characterized by its small size, its ability to operate over a wide voltage and current range, and its fast opening speed. It is also credited with good low-temperature performance and large positioning tolerances and can withstand impacts from objects up to 5mm radius.The switch is typically used in lighting systems, ventilators, door locks, furniture, vending machines and casinos, among others. In larger applications such as door locks, the 1478670-7 switch is becoming more popular as it is precise and ultra-reliable in its functioning. This switch can even be used in automated factories and warehouses to control large-scale machines and equipment.

This switch is also renowned for its availability of different contact arrangements. Depending on the manufacturer, the 1478670-7 switch can come with SPDT, SPST, DPST, and DPDT types of terminals with various number of pins. It is also possible to customize the switch to come with different combination of silver, gold, and zinc contact materials as well as actuation shafts in metallic and non-metallic material.

It is also possible to purchase the 1478670-7 switch in normally open, normally closed, and momentary versions. In some versions, the switch is even adjustable with a special adjustment head nut covered by an extra water-tight cap.

In conclusion, the 1478670-7 is a versatile and reliable snap-action limit switch that is a great fit for light commercial and heavy industrial applications. With many varieties available, this switch is incredibly customizable and can be combined with other parts to provide solutions for efficient and precise machine and automation control.
