D3V-16G1-1C25-K

Snap action, limit switches act as versatile, economical and rugged devices for use in countless applications in the home, in industry and in the field. The D3V-16G1-1C25-K switch is a standard and widely available version, suitable for use in many applications. We will look at the features and characteristics of this, and related, devices and discuss their range of uses and their operating principles.

Features: The D3V-16G1-1C25-K switch is a miniature (16mm x 10mm x 5mm) snap-action switch with a dielectric strength of 700Vrms. It has a wiring terminal type connection, and integral, snap-action contacts which are made of silver alloy and rated for 10A/125V, 1A/250V or mechanical operations at 3A/280V. The switch is UL rated and is CE certified.

The switch is available in two operating systems, push-button or solenoid-type. Both systems are operated by the same mechanism. In either case, the trigger must be pressed or the solenoid must be energized to create a current, which then activates the switch. The activation is ensured by a snap-action mechanism which trips a metal armature onto the corresponding contact when the trigger is pressed. The current passing through the switch is then open or closed, depending on the position of the armature.

Application Fields: Due to its size, the D3V-16G1-1C25-K isused in a range of different applications. It can be used as a simple push-button switch for machine-control functions, including process control, conveyor systems, motor starters and pumps. It can also be used as a limit switch, as a switch in an alarm or in automated home or office systems. The switch is also widely used in computer peripherals, such as keyboards, speakers and printers.

Working Principle: The working principle of the D3V-16G1-1C25-K switch is based on the movement of the armature on the measurement shaft. The armature swings onto its contact when the trigger is pressed or the solenoid is energized, creating a circuit which can open or close depending on its position. The armature can remain in its position, regardless of the trigger or solenoid being released. The switch will only reset when the armature is moved back to its open position.

In summary, the D3V-16G1-1C25-K snap-action, limit switch is an indispensable tool for controlling and regulating electrical systems in domestic and commercial settings. Its size and characteristics make it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, while its reliable functioning makes it an ideal device for providing accurate power and process control.
