Snap Action, Limit Switches

44501-0530 is an innovative snap action limit switch that has been engineered to satisfy a wide range of applications. Offering a long life, robust design and excellent reliability, these versatile switches can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace and medical.

A limit switch is a mechanical electrical switch that controls the limit of movement or uses. The 44501-0530 switch takes the form of a plunger-type device. Inside the plunger is a metal ball that is actuated when the plunger is pressed into the switch housing. The ball mechanically triggers the limit switch when the plunger is depressed. When the plunger returns to its normally open (no) position, the switching contacts close and the switch is energized.

The 44501-0530 snap action limit switch features a wide range of actuator options to provide flexibility in application design. Features include adjustable travel and force settings to accommodate different operational requirements and a wide temperature range for use in high or low temperature applications. The switch also offers a variety of termination options, including tabs and terminals, through hole, surface mount and press-fit connections.

In addition to its wide range of capabilities and design flexibility, the 44501-0530 switch offers a number of safety features. The switches offer overtravel protection that prevents damage in the event of an external mechanical force, as well as non-reversible overtravel to ensure the switch is always in its predefined position. The switches also feature integral safety bridges between the terminals to prevent shocks and hazards caused by the switching contacts.

The 44501-0530 snap action limit switch is designed for a variety of applications, such as emergency stop, conveyor lines, automated doors, position monitoring and limit shutoff. Its versatility makes it suitable for both new and existing installation projects. With a high degree of precision and safety features, the 44501-0530 is an ideal choice for a range of industrial applications.
