311SM768-T2

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 311SM768-T2 is a UL/cUL recognized type of snap action limit switch, which is used in a wide variety of applications. This particular variable is encased in a solid plastic housing and contains a plunger-like design to actuate the switch.

The ultimate purpose of such a switch is to detect a certain level of movement, or level of pressure, in order to trigger the circuit transmission to send a signal or other related technology. It is typically used for movement, speed, frequencies and levels, as well as stopping/starting points and other settings.

Enclosed within the solid, plastic housing is a plunger that moves up and down and, when the plunger is pressed, the applications are identified and then a connection is made between the two pieces of the switch. It is important to note that once the plunger is pressed, it won’t move unless it is actuated again.

The 311SM768-T2 is a reliable, durable and long-lasting switch, with a current rating of 0.3A. It provides snap-fitting, easy installation and adjustable switching characteristics. It offers a wide variety of sensitivity options and has two-wire and three-wire installation versions.

This particular snap action limit switch is often used in industrial and commercial applications, as it is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and environments. Its designed to provide reliability and accuracy, even in harsh conditions. Its used in appliances, vending machines, office automation machinery, garage doors, and more.

In addition to its applications and uses, the 311SM768-T2 is also known for its working principle. As mentioned, the switch is activated by pressing the plunger, this in turn creates a physical connection between the two parts of the switch. This connection then allows for a current to pass through and activate the switch. When the switch is actuated, it will establish a closed circuit, allowing current to flow through the switch and activate the application.

The switch works in much the same way as a relay, as it is designed to sense pressure/movement, and then trigger the switch in order to open/close the circuit under certain circumstances. This is what allows the device to control a variety of systems and processes, from closing a window to turning a temperature regulator off. It is also capable of measuring and controlling different levels of pressure or movement.

The 311SM768-T2 is a reliable and cost-effective switch and perfect for a variety of applications in both industrial and commercial settings. It offers adjustable switching characteristics, reliability and accuracy, and its steady and durable construction makes it perfect for harsh environments. Plus, its working principle makes it easy to understand and operate.
