44505-0110 Datasheet/PDFSnap action limit switches come in a variety of forms, but the 44505-0110 model is a classic example of a snap action switch. This particular switch combines two important features: a normally-closed contact, and a snap-action opening operation. The 44505-0110 is a popular and reliable choice in a wide range of applications.
In terms of its electrical contacts, the 44505-0110 has two sets of normally-closed contacts, one set of normally-open contacts and one set of double-break contacts. These contacts are made of a combination of metals and can be used to cut power to equipment, to signal equipment to start or stop, or to indicate the presence or absence of a particular signal. The contacts are encased in a plastic housing with an adjustable handle and a protective dust cover.
The snap-action switch component is the key feature of the 44505-0110 model. The switch has two separate pivoting levels, the first one moving across the first contact and the second one across both. When the switch is triggered, the contacts are immediately separated, allowing for a fast, reliable cut-off or reset.
The 44505-0110 has a number of different application fields. It can be used for controlling power or signaling systems, for safety and emergency shut off, for industrial and machine control systems, and for general-purpose purposes. In all these applications it is important that the switch actuates quickly and reliably without fail. Its unique snap-action opening feature ensures that this is the case.
In terms of its working principle, the 44505-0110 switch uses a combination of mechanical and electrical elements. It utilizes a durable mechanical lever to pivot the contacts open and close, which is then connected to an electrical contact that triggers the switch mechanism. When the contact is triggered, either electrically or mechanically, the switch will actuate quickly and reliably, without fail.
The 44505-0110 is a classic snap action limit switch and is used in a wide range of applications. Its combination of a normally-closed contact and a snap-action opening operation make it an excellent choice for controlling power and signaling, providing emergency shut off, and for general-purpose applications. It is extremely reliable and can be used for a wide range of applications with confidence.
