91MCE16-P5OP

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 91MCE16-P5OP is a type of snap action, limit switch. As the name implies, these switches are designed to provide a limit of motion to a machine or mechanism. They are commonly used to detect the presence of a component, signal the completion of an operation, and to provide physical feedback in a variety of systems. The 91MCE16-P5OP is a two-position snap action switch.

General Features

The 91MCE16-P5OP has several features that make it an ideal choice for applications that require snap action actuation. It features an adjustable operating lever and is protected with UL 94V-0 rated material, which meets or exceeds international standards for flame retardancy. Additionally, the switch possesses high electrical ratings of up to 10A at 250V. This makes it suitable for use with higher-powered systems, including light applications and motors. The switch also has a wide operating temperature range of -20 to +85°C for use in a variety of applications. Finally, it possesses an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and waterproof for use in damp or wet environments.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 91MCE16-P5OP is a versatile switch. Its adjustable operating lever allows it to be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial, control, and home automation systems. Its two-position design makes it especially suitable for applications that require precision actuation, such as robotics and automated machinery. The switch is activated when the operating lever moves to either the “on” or “off” position and can be integrated with a variety of different sensors and controllers, depending on the application.

The working principle of the 91MCE16-P5OP is relatively simple. When the switch is triggered, an internal microswitch is activated which then sends a signal to an external system. This signal can be used to trigger a variety of responses, depending on the system and application. For example, a 91MCE16-P5OP switch could be integrated into a door control system to trigger an alarm when the door is opened or closed. Additionally, the switch could be used in automated machinery to trigger an action when a component is detected.

Conclusion

The 91MCE16-P5OP is a versatile snap action, limit switch. Its adjustable operating lever and wide range of electrical ratings make it suitable for a variety of applications. It has UL 94V-0 rated material, which meets or exceeds international standards for flame retardancy and possesses an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and waterproof. Additionally, its two-position snap action mechanism provides a reliable limit of motion for signaling and feedback applications. The 91MCE16-P5OP is an ideal choice for light and motor applications, robotics, automated machinery, control systems, and home automation.
