831115C3.0 Datasheet/PDF831115C3.0 is a kind of snap action, limit switch specifically designed for industrial applications. This switch offers high performance, considering its unique design, that makes it the ideal choice for any kind of application in which it has to operate reliably and accurately. These switches are constructed with durable casings, and feature contact and armature styles, that provide the required level of sensitivity and accuracy.
The main applications of 831115C3.0 switches are for controlling and monitoring DC/AC current, power, temperature, pressure and other industrial process conditions, as well as for switching and isolating electrically-powered equipment.
When it comes to working principle, 831115C3.0 switches incorporate a trip step mechanism, which is activated when an external force/shock is generated, either on the switch itself, or on one of its pedestals. When the tripping force is exceeded, the mechanism starts a rapid open/close movement that shifts the armature of the switch from one definite position to the other one, thus producing the switching action.
When the tripping force is exceeded, the switch produces a sudden, sharp and loud noise, along with a loud snap, that indicates that the switch has actuated and that the switching action is being performed. This is known as the snap action, which is what makes this kind of switch so reliable and precise in operation.
831115C3.0 switch is 3.0A rated, which means it can handle 300V AC current, and it has a contact rating of 250V AC at 10A. This switch is also capable of switching higher voltages and currents, depending on the application.
831115C3.0 switch is also equipped with a contact gap of 5 mm, and it is able to operate over a temperature range of -20 to 80°C. This switch is highly durable due to its high quality construction, which includes a stainless steel spring and a polyethylene casing that prevents it from getting affected by dust, dirt and other contaminants.
In conclusion, 831115C3.0 is a highly reliable, robust and accurate snap action, limit switch which is especially designed for industrial purposes. It has a contact rating of 250V AC and 3.0A rated current, and it is also able to operate over a temperature range of -20 to 80°C. This switch also features an impressive contact gap of 5 mm, ensuring precise switch operations. Taking into consideration all of its features, 831115C3.0 certainly makes for a great choice when it comes to selecting an industrial switch for your applications.
