D3V-16-2A5

The D3V-16-2A5 is a type of Snap Action, Limit Switches that have multiple applications in industry and everyday use. This article provides an in-depth look at the application field of this device as well as how it works.

General Overview

D3V-16-2A5 is a double throw, Sub Miniature, Snap Action, Limit Switches. This device is standardly built with a flat actuator and an ambidextrous ungrounded design. With a few minor adaptations, it is possible to integrate them with other industrial control systems.

D3V-16-2A5 switches are incredibly reliable and durable and have a very long-lasting switch life of up to 4 million cycles. The device is also non-corrosive and can operate within temperatures from -20°C to +65°C.

Application Field

D3V-16-2A5 Snap Action, Limit Switches are primarily used in industrial automation processes and in various devices that require switching based on proximity. Some of the most common applications for this device include:

• Automated machinery and robots
• Motion and mechanism control
• Access control
• HVAC systems
• Security systems
• Counting, timing and measuring devices
• Data processing systems

It can also be used in any application where switching based on a proximity sensing of objects is required, such as in agricultural and other industrial machinery.

Working Principle

When a D3V-16-2A5 is activated, the flat actuator, or switch contact, is closed, allowing for the device to complete a circuit and thus triggering a particular action. When the object that was sensed is away from the switch, the actuator is opened, preventing the current from passing through the switch.

The snap action, limit switch works by sensing the movement of an object and then activating the switches automatically. This allows for efficient and accurate switching and control. The activation of the switch is usually triggered by a combination of pressure, magnetism, or other form of movement, allowing it to effectively sense objects and respond accordingly.

This device is highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, making it a favorite of engineers and technicians in various fields. From controlling machinery on production lines to detecting objects traveling along conveyor belts, this device can help engineers and technicians to streamline their industries.

Conclusion

The D3V-16-2A5 Snap Action, Limit Switches are incredibly versatile and reliable devices that are widely used in industrial automation processes and a variety of other applications. With its high precision accuracy and long-lasting switch life, this device is an indispensable tool for engineers and technicians who need to coordinate and control machines and other mechanical systems.
