ABS1614509

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The ABS1614509 is a versatile snap action and limit switch built to withstand difficult industrial environments. This switch is designed with a self-cleaning terminal to ensure trouble-free operation and it can be used in a variety of applications. It offers a wide range of contact ratings and is designed to be used in a variety of operating conditions.

The ABS1614509 is an ideal choice for applications in challenging industrial environments. It is resistant to water, dust, chemicals, and other environmental factors, as well as providing superior protection from electrical interference. The design of the switch features a patented ‘snap action’ mechanism which provides reliable and consistent switch operation. This feature is invaluable in applications that require frequent switch operation such as industrial automation and robotics.

The ABS1614509 switch is rated to 15 Amp, 250V and up to 16A, with SPDT or DPDT contact configurations. It also features a wide temperature range, able to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C. The ABS1614509 is designed to be used in harsh industrial conditions and is rated to IP67 (protected against dust and moisture). It also features thermal overload protection to ensure safe operation and is certified to UL, CSA, EN and IEC standards.

The ABS1614509 switch works on the principle of a cam operated mechanism. As the actuator is moved, the cam rotates and moves a set of internal contacts, creating an electrical connection between the internal contacts and the output terminals. As the actuator is released, the cam returns to its original position, disconnecting the contacts and breaking the circuit. This type of switch is often referred to as a ‘snap action’ switch as it quickly and reliably breaks the circuit when actuated.

This type of switch is used in a variety of applications, from industrial automation and robotics to medical, automotive and aerospace applications. For example, the ABS1614509 can be used as a limit switch in industrial automation systems. In such applications, the switch detects when the actuator has reached a preset limit and sends an electronic signal, activating an automated process. It can also be used in medical equipment, such as infusion pumps, to detect when a preset volume of medicine has been delivered. In automotive and aerospace applications, the switch can be used as an overspeed switch, detecting when a set speed has been exceeded and activating an alarm.

The ABS1614509 is a reliable and durable snap action and limit switch designed for use in challenging industrial environments. With its wide range of contact ratings, temperature range, and thermal overload protection, it is an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
