AH725059-A Datasheet/PDFSnap action, limit switches come in a wide variety of contact designs and form factors, offering mechanical actuators, allowing for use in pushbuttons, panel-mounted products, door contact switches and more. One example of a snap action limit switch is the AH725059-A, a waterproof and dustproof device which has the ability to recognise a range of motion types and be successful in a wide range of applications. This article looks at the AH725059-A, outlining its application field, working principle and its advantages.
Application Field
The AH725059-A is used in a wide range of industries, given its high level of resistance to water and dust, making it suitable to operate in harsh environments. This switch is used in the automotive and maritime industries, given it can handle temperatures and humidity levels involve in the use of these environments. Due to its waterproof design, this switch is also used in other places where resistance to water, moisture and dust are of importance, such as in food processing, agriculture, and similar locations.
Working Principle
The AH725059-A is a micro switch, with a positive opening contact type. This means that when the actuation force is released, the contact opens and breaks the circuit, ensuring no current can flow. This type of switch is designed for applications that require extreme precision. In this case, the contact closing and opening is highly accurate, with an minimum operating force of 0.10N. This makes the switch suitable for low-power and high-power applications. To activate the contact, the actuation force needs to be applied to the switch, which is then translated into an electrical signal via a mechanical means.
Advantages
The AH725059-A is one of the most reliable and versatile switches on the market due to its wide range of shapes and sizes, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. It also has a low actuation force and is equipped with a robust housing and durable contact blocks for prolonged and repeated use. In addition to its durability and useful features, this switch also has a great life expectancy. Thanks to its waterproof and dustproof design and sturdy construction, the life of this switch can be extended by up to 50 million cycles.
Conclusion
The AH725059-A is a popular switch due to its waterproof and dustproof design and its mechanical actuator, making it suitable for tough environments. It is ideal for use in cars and maritime applications due to its high resistance to temperature and humidity, as well as its low actuation force. Its durable construction and long-term usability make it a versatile and reliable device, suitable for a variety of applications.
