ABS161640

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The ABS161640 is a Snap Action, Limit Switch designed to provide maximum strength and stiffness in high vibration environments. It is designed to provide reliable operation over a wide range of environmental conditions, including harsh environments. The switch features a sturdy construction, durable mechanical contacts and sealed enclosure. It is designed to provide a wide range of operating temperatures and is suitable for use in hazardous locations.

Application Field of ABS161640

ABS161640 is a versatile snap action, limit switch that is ideal for use in a variety of applications, such as: door lock switches, safety switches, industrial control systems, and security systems. It is also well-suited for applications that require precise positioning of the contacts in an extended operating temperature range.

It is suitable for applications involving switching between power sources, such as load cells, temperature controls and other devices that may require an accurate position of the switch. It is also suitable for applications requiring heavy use, such as in machine-tooling, product assembly, and a variety of automotive testing applications.

Working Principle of ABS161640

The ABS161640 uses a patented snap-action mechanism that allows it to switch rapidly between two positions. This is accomplished by an internal cam that works in conjunction with a spring-loaded contact on the switch. When an external force is applied to the switch, the cam is activated, causing the switch contact to move rapidly from the first position to the second position. This rapid acceleration and movement of the switch contact creates the distinctive snap sound that is a hallmark of the ABS161640.

The switch contact is designed to remain in the second position until an external force is applied in the opposite direction. This forces the switch contact back to its original position. This allows the switch contact to be utilized in applications requiring very precise positioning and can also be used in applications such as door locks and safety switches.

In addition to its robust construction, the ABS161640 can also be operated in extreme temperatures. The switch is designed to be operational over a temperature range of -25°C to +105°C. This allows the switch to be used in harsh environments and provides a reliable contact for applications requiring precise switching.

The ABS161640 is an ideal solution for applications involving rapid switching between two positions, as well as for applications requiring precise positioning. The switch is robust and can be operated in extreme temperatures, making it well-suited for a variety of applications.
