D4NH-2EBC

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The D4NH-2EBC switch is a snap action, limit switch from Omron. It is widely used due to its compact size, long life cycle, snaps over rapidly, and is popular for single-circuit switch applications. It is widely used in household appliances, electronic equipment, vending machines, industrial machines, and other automated control systems.

Application field

The D4NH series is ideal for applications that require a low profile, high reliability switch for applications such as medical equipment, household appliances, vending machines, monitors, gaming, and access control. This type of switch is designed for simple on/off-type applications on PCB and single-circuit equipment that has limited space or weight requirements.

Working principle

This snap-action switch has a plunger that is descended when the lever is pushed down. When the lever is released the plunger springs back. The plunger is the contact point and with each action, the contacts inside will open or close the circuit. The switch is designed so it will actually “snap” on or off, hence the name Snap-action switch.

This snap-action switch is also considered very reliable since it is designed with a lever in an enclosed space and the contacts are made from materials that can withstand very high temperatures and have great durability. When the plunger is pressed, it moves the lever, which flips a contact that is inside the switch. This contact is made up of two pieces of metal that are separated by a piece of plastic and when touched, it creates an electric connection, closing or opening the circuit.

Benefits

The D4NH switch offers a range of benefits for applications, including:

• High durability, with a contact life of up to 10 million cycles.
• Compact size and low profile ensures a low profile.
• Longer term electrical life and larger switching ranges.
• Snaps over quickly and accurately.
• Easy to mount and reduce overall weight.

The D4NHseries is a reliable switch for applications that require a cost effective, fast and light weight switch with long electrical and mechanical life.

Conclusion

The D4NH-2EBC snap-action switch is a reliable, fast and lightweight switch that offers a cost effective solution for single-circuit and PCB applications. It is designed to provide long electrical and mechanical life, as well as offer a snap-action switch with a longer contact life and greater switching range. This switch is also very easy to mount and can help to reduce overall weight. Ultimately, this type of limit switch is ideal for applications that require a low profile, high reliability switch.
