ADPFF3J04AY

Snap action, limit switches, such as the ADPFF3J04AY, are switches designed to operate in a single, predetermined angular position. These switches are used to detect an angular position, such as the opening or closing of a valve, and then send a signal to the controller, telling it to take a certain action. This type of switch is commonly found in industrial applications, such as conveyors and control panels.

The ADPFF3J04AY switch has a rated operating angle of 10° to 10° and a rated current of 5A. Its contact changes from normally open to normally closed when it reaches the rated angular position and stays there until it reaches the opposite angular position. The switch has two main components: the contacts and the actuator. The contacts consist of a set of normally open current carrying contacts that are held together by a rivet. When the actuator is triggered, the contacts move from their open state to their closed state, allowing the current to flow through the switch.

The actuator is the mechanism that triggers the switch. It is typically a small object that is designed to react to a specific type of force, such as a push or pull. The actuator is usually connected to a mechanism that triggers the switch, such as a lever or a button. When the actuator is pushed, the contacts change from their open to their closed state, allowing the current to flow through the switch.

Snap action, limit switches, such as the ADPFF3J04AY, are used in a variety of applications, such as conveyors, control panels, escalators and home automation systems. They are designed to detect a specific type of force, such as a push or pull, and then send a signal to the controller. This signal tells the controller to take a certain action, such as activating or deactivating a device. They are typically used in industrial applications where reliability and accuracy are paramount.

Snap action, limit switches are typically easy to install and maintain because they are simple, reliable devices. They are also relatively inexpensive and can be used in hazardous environments. They are commonly used in industrial applications over other types of switches because they are more reliable and accurate.
