D2S-5L13

Snap Action, Limit Switches

D2S-5L13 is a type of snap action, limit switches, designed for application in commercial, industrial and residential premises. Snap action, limit switches are commonly used for contact closure when a component, such as a door, window, or other mechanism is opened or closed. The D2S-5L13 switch operates on a spring-loaded mechanism, providing a quick, reliable and accurate response to actuation.

Working Principle

The D2S-5L13 snap action switch is composed of an actuator and a base. The actuator is a plunger, adjustable in size and shape, that moves axially when pushed into its mounting hole. When an operator pushes the switch directly, the plunger makes contact with a pair of contacts, completing a circuit. Alternatively, the switch can be actuated via a mechanical linkage, such as a handle, lever, or rope.

Whenever the plunger is pushed, the contact closure connects and breaks the circuit, depending on the position of the plunger. It is important to note that this switch is designed to break circuits first, followed by contact closure. To ensure the accurate functioning of the switch, it is important to install the plunger properly and adjust its position in accordance with the application.
