831860CFD0.EL Application Field and Working Principle

The831860CFD0.EL snap action limit switches are small, economical electromechanical switches used for detecting the opening and closing of a door or window. They are often used in vending machines and gaming systems to detect the presence of a player. The main components of the switch are a plunger and two micro-switches.

The working principle of a snap action limit switch is based on how two types of micro-switches work together. The first type of switch is a momentary switch, which is designed to be activated whenever a plunger is pressed or released. When the plunger moves, it causes the internal contacts of the switch to move, thereby changing the state of the switch. The second type of switch is a maintained switch. When the plunger is pressed and held in place, this type of switch is designed to remain in its activated state, which makes it perfect for detecting the opening or closing of a door or window.

The snap action limit switch is typically used in vending machines because it makes it easy to detect when a customer has inserted coins into the machine. For gaming systems, the switch is used to detect the presence of a player. When the plunger is pressed, the two micro-switches are activated and a signal is sent to the game system, allowing it to know when a player is present.

The 831860CFD0.EL snap action limit switch is a great choice for applications that require an economical and reliable way to detect the opening and closing of a door or window. It is easy to install and can be used in a wide variety of applications.
