AV462461

Snap Action, Limit Switches

AV462461 Mechanical Limit switches, also known as snap action switches and micro switches, are used to detect the position of a mechanical actuator. The switch is mechanically activated when the actuator is moved to a certain point. The AV462461 is a particular product that belongs to this family of switches.AV462461 switches are designed to have superior durability and are rated up to 10 million mechanical cycles. The AV462461 is a single-throw or single-pole switch with a single break contact. Many features such as the standard 0.25” quick connect terminals, low profile design, and superior long life make the AV462461 an ideal choice for a variety of applications.The AV462461 switch is typically used in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. In general, these switches can be used in any application that requires a contact to be opened or closed depending on the position of an actuator. Some common applications for this type of switch include limit switches for machine tool applications, limit switches for machine guarding, and limit switches for medical equipment.The AV462461 switch operates by utilizing a plunger-style actuator. The actuator consists of a ceramic plunger that is actuated by a mechanical force. When the plunger is moved to a certain point, the switch is actuated and a contact is opened or closed. The switch can also be actuated by an external force such as a lever or actuator arm.The AV462461 switch is designed to be used in environments where it may be exposed to shock, vibration, humidity, or temperatures as low as -25°C (-13°F). The switch is dust resistant and designed to meet IP65 dust test requirements. The switch is also RoHS compliant and ESD protected, ensuring safe use in hazardous environments.The AV462461 switch has a number of advantages, such as its high reliability, long life, and low operating current. The switch is designed to be used in a wide range of applications and is UL, CSA, and CE approved. The switch is also small in size and is available in both flat and right angle options to fit in tight spaces. Overall, the AV462461 Mechanical Limit switch is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Its small size, high reliability, and durability make it ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. The switch is also RoHS compliant and ESD protected, ensuring its safe use in hazardous environments.
