AM50062A53-A

The AM50062A53-A is a Snap Action, Limit Switch that comes in a variety of applications. This particular switch is an industry-standard single pole, double throw (SPDT) momentary action switch. It is adaptable to both horizontal or vertical mounting configurations. The main advantage of this device lies in its ability to provide multi-pole connection and flexibility. All such features make this a reliable switch for many applications.

Applications for AM50062A53-A switches include control of motors, blowers, pumps, fans, and other automotive and industrial equipment. The SPDT mechanism allows for single or multiple actuation, depending on the user’s requirements. The switch is typically mounted on or near the device or equipment to be controlled, and a mechanical force is used to trigger the switching operation. Acting like a switch blade, the mechanism provides an accurate operation capable of carrying large currents up to 12A.

Working Principle

The AM50062A53-A consists of two main parts—a movable contact and a stationary contact. The movable contact, which is activated by mechanical force, is connected to a terminal block containing two or more wire terminals. The terminals are usually sealed in the base with a plastic cap to protect the wires. The stationary contact is either connected to the same terminal block or separate depending on the application.

When an object (typically a mechanical switch) is pressed against the movable contact and the contact connected to the actuator is moved, the switch is activated. This causes the stationary contact to move, completing or breaking the circuit in accuracy and reliability. The mechanical action is further dampened by a set of springs contained in the device. This ensures a smooth and consistent switching action despite the large currents involved.

The AM50062A53-A is one of the most reliable and versatile Snap Action, Limit Switches for industrial and automotive applications. Its SPDT operation is reliable, accurate, and flexible in its application use. With its reliability and affordability, it is the perfect choice for many applications.
