AH1482-A

Snap action, limit switches are commonly used in various industries to monitor the movement of various mechanical parts and provide reliable “on/off” signals. Among these switches, AH1482-A is widely used in the automotive industry, civilian and industrial automation and household appliances.

Application field

AH1482-A snap action, limit switch is widely used in many industries. It is mostly used in the automotive industry to control motor work, clutches, brakes, lighting, interior equipment, etc. In addition to automotive applications, AH1482-A is also commonly used in civilian and industrial automation, for example, in the electronic control system to control the action of the communication interface and power convert, and micro switch action. In the field of household appliances, the switch can also be used for temperature control for refrigerator, washing machine, etc.

Working Principle

AH1482-A has a nanometer-scale cantilever beam with a metal contact that moves around a fixed contact called an actuator. The actuator is usually operated by a plunger or other type of mechanism, and it is typically set up at a specified point on the product. When the actuator moves away from the specified point, the contact of the cantilever beam moves toward the fixed contact and triggers a switch, allowing the product to either stop working or turn off the power source. In some cases, one or more switches may be used to control multiple devices.

AH1482-A snap action, limit switch is about 15mm in length, and it is made of polyamide material and lead wires. The cantilever beam includes a metal contact on one end, and the fixed contact and actuator are on the other end. The actuator and fixed contact are connected by a spring, which can be used to adjust the amount of contact pressure.

The mechanism of AH1482-A snap action, limit switch can be used in two ways. It can either “on” when actuator moves away from the fixed contact, or “off” when actuator moves closer to the fixed contact. And it can also be used to provide a control signal when the maximum contact pressure is reached. It also can be used in the other way to provides an “on” signal when the actuator is released or “off” when the actuator is triggered.

Conclusion

AH1482-A snap action, limit switch is widely used in the automotive industry, civilian and industrial automation and household appliances. It is small and compact and the actuator can be adjusted to either provide an “on” or “off” signal when operated. As a result, it is a highly cost-effective and reliable device for monitoring and controlling mechanical parts in many industries.
