D4N-2262

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action switches, also known as limit switches, are electromechanical devices used to detect the presence of an object or motion. Snap Action switches are often used in industrial, automotive, and avionics applications. The switch activates when a physical force, such as a lever or plunger, is applied to it.

The D4N-2262 is a type of snap action switch. It is a compact, single pole, double throw switch that can be used in a wide range of applications. It features a snap action mechanism that provides quick and accurate switching performance. The snap-acting mechanism is designed to maximize reliability by providing a consistent, repeatable switch operation. The design also allows for a high mechanical life of up to 5 million cycles.

The D4N-2262 is available in two types: Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC). The NO type will provide an open circuit when the switch is activated, while the NC type will provide a closed circuit when the switch is activated. The switch’s contacts are also gold-plated for superior electrical performance.

The D4N-2262 is ideal for sensing motion and position of objects, as well as limit and start/stop operations. It can be used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including automation and control systems, vending and gaming machines, medical equipment, and leather goods manufacturing. It is also suitable for use in harsh environments due to its encased design and sealed construction.

In terms of its working principle, the D4N-2262 works by using a snap action mechanism. When a physical force is applied to the switch, the force is magnified by a mechanical lever and then transmitted to the internal contacts. The contacts in turn provide an electrical connection when the lever is actuated. The switch mechanism offers a quick and reliable operation for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

The D4N-2262 offers a wide range of features, such as a compact size, a high mechanical life, and a gold-plated contact design. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from industrial and commercial to harsh environment applications. Its snap action mechanism, meanwhile, ensures quick and reliable switch operation.
