622EN52-6

Snap action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are used to interact with mechanical components such as springs and levers. The 622EN52-6 model is a type of switch that works to cut off or restore power when a specific action or force is applied to the armature or actuator. This type of limit switch is well-suited for operators with limited space in the control panel.

Operating Principle

The 622EN52-6 limit switch utilizes a snap-action mechanism. This mechanism operates when the armature arm contains a ball that presses and releases a center contact. The ball makes contact with both the contact and the return arm of the switch. When an external force presses the armature, the ball is pushed away from the contact and onto the return arm, breaking the circuit. When the pressure is released, the ball falls back onto the contact, restoring the circuit.

Application Field

The 622EN52-6 snap action, limit switch is a great choice for applications that require frequent on/off use and need compact, reliable control. This switch is suited for devices such as safety light curtains, surveillance cameras, access control systems, automated doors, and vending machines. Its small size also makes it suitable for smaller control panels in appliances, medical instruments, automobiles, and industrial equipment.

Features

The 622EN52-6 limit switch has a few distinct features that make it an ideal choice for certain projects. This specific switch has a rating of 5A @ 240VAC and a 5A @ 30VDC resistive load. It is equipped with screw terminals for easy wiring and it has a wide variety of actuator heads for manual operations. The switch is also rated for IP67 protection, meaning it is dustproof and waterproof for outdoor applications.

Conclusion

In summary, the 622EN52-6 snap action, limit switch is a great choice for applications that require frequent on/off operation and need a compact, reliable control option. Its IP67 rating also makes it suitable for outdoor applications. Its features, such as its screw terminal connectors, wide range of actuator heads, and 5A@240VAC and 5A@30VDC ratings make it an attractive choice for a variety of projects.
