221EN502-R

Snap Action, Limit Switches

A snap action, limit switch is an electrical switch containing an internal mechanism that causes the contacts to snap open or closed when activated by an external force. They are widely used to operate electronically-controlled appliances and equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, and can offer a higher level of safety and accuracy than standard mechanical switches. The 221EN502-R Snap Action, Limit Switch is manufactured by the S.I.M. Company and is one of the most reliable and widely used switches in the industry.

The 221EN502-R operates using a spring-loaded mechanism, where a pin or plunger is forced against an actuator when the switch is activated. This causes the internal contacts to move either open or closed, depending on the type of switch used. For example, a normally-open switch means that the contacts remain open until the external force is applied and the actuator is pushed down, which then causes the contacts to close. The actuator can be released and the contacts will then revert to their original state.

The 221EN502-R is capable of providing a more reliable and accurate switching mechanism than a standard mechanical switch due to its ability to quickly and reliably activate a circuit when pressure is applied. It is also designed to handle more voltage and current than a standard switch and can be used in higher operating temperature environments. The switch is typically rated for up to 10amps at 125vAC, and can typically be used in temperatures up to 140°F (60°C).

The 221EN502-R is an excellent choice for applications that require a very precise and reliable switching mechanism, such as commercial and industrial machinery, robotics, control systems, and security systems. It is ideal for use in applications requiring constant activation or de-activation of a circuit, such as automation systems or door open and close systems. The switch is also very durable and long-lasting, and can handle a wide range of environmental conditions.

The 221EN502-R has a wide range of applications in residential and commercial settings, with its quick and reliable activation and high voltage and temperature operating range. For example, it can be used in control systems, alarm systems, door open and close systems, robotics, and automotive applications. It is also suitable for use in industrial settings, such as print presses, automated equipment, and heavy machinery.

In summary, the 221EN502-R Snap Action, Limit Switch is one of the most reliable and widely used switches in the industry due to its precise and reliable switching mechanism, high voltage and current ratings, and ability to handle a wide range of environmental conditions. It is an excellent choice for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications, and is highly durable and long-lasting.
