Snap action switches are an essential type of limit switch comprising a mechanical actuator, such as a spring, which is enclosed in a housing. An actuator head is attached to the outside of the housing, with the same switch operating point being repeatable. The 23AC82 is such a switch, a double-pole, double-throw type which has two sets of contacts, each with its own normally open, normally closed and common terminals.

The 23AC82 is a miniature snap action switch, with a mounting hole of only 5.6mm (0.22in) and a body measuring, 16.6mm (0.65in) in length. It is made from thermoplastic, giving it UV and temperature resistance, making it a suitable switch for both interior and exterior applications, with a maximum current rating of 10A. This switch offers good mechanical life expectancy due to its low-profile design and durable construction, boasting an electrical life of 100,000 cycles.

The main use for this snap action switch is for sensing limits or thresholds, such as those found in industrial or commercial devices and systems. This can include the control of conveyor systems, the adjustment of spa or hot tub temperature, a level detector, and more. The 23AC82 is also well-suited to hobby and craft applications, such as the control of automated model railways, film and animation scenography and robotics.

The working principle of this switch is as follows. A contact point is equipment with a raised piece of metal called a plunger, which is activated when depressed by the user. When the plunger is depressed, it acts on a spring, causing the contact point to close. When the plunger is released, the spring returns the plunger to its original position, opening the contact point. This action is typically known as ‘snap action’, and gives the switch its name.

The mechanical action of the switch is rapid, taking only a few milliseconds to actuate and de-actuate, making them the ideal switch for many applications requiring quick reaction times. The switches are also highly reliable, and are extremely resistant to shock and vibration. This makes them equally suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

The 23AC82 offers a range of customization options, and can be purchased with varying sensitive distances and actuation forces to suit the needs of the user. With its miniature form factor, low cost and long life, the 23AC82 is an excellent choice for industrial and consumer applications.
