Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action switches are defined as components the make and break an electrical connection through the movement of a rotating or spring-loaded actuator. This type of switch is used in a wide range of applications, such as controlling household appliances, traffic signals, and industrial automation. Generally, this term is used to describe a wide range of switches, including limit switches and snap switches.

Overview of 83262817 Application Fields and Working Principle

The 83262817 snap action switch is used for a variety of general-purpose applications. It is designed for mechanically and thermally stress-resistant applications, and is used commonly for cost-sensitive applications. This switch is designed for small form factors and can be used in a variety of limited spaces. Additionally, it is designed to reduce lead-time and inventory costs, providing flexibility.

This snap action switch has a unique design that allows it to tolerate high temperature conditions to 190 °F and impact strength over millions of cycles. It is also quiet and reliable in operation, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The switch is constructed with double-break snap action contacts, where a spring drives a plunger to connect the contact points. This ensures a uniform, repeatable operation.

83262817 Features

The 83262817 snap action switch has several features that make it a desirable option for a variety of applications. It is rated for up to 10-amp resistive load, and can be used in temperatures ranging from -40 °F to 190 °F. It has both a momentary and maintained contact set. Additionally, the switch has a 30,000 cycle operational life, which is among the longest for this type of switch, and it has audible “click” feedback.

83262817 Dimensions

The 83262817 snap action switch has a body size of 30.4 x 30.4 x 13.6mm. The actuator is 12mm tall, and the overall height is 25.5mm. The terminal locations are located in either straight or angled configurations. The terminals are silver-plated brass, while the body and actuator can be made of either plastic or metal.

83262817 Applications

The 83262817 snap action switch has a variety of applications, including household appliances, traffic signals, industrial automation and other general-purpose applications. It can be used in limited spaces and is rated for both momentary and maintained contact applications. Additionally, its long life, quiet operation and resistance to high temperature conditions makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
