D5B-5021

Snap Action, Limit Switches are a type of electrical component commonly used in control and automation-related applications. The switches are used to detect the presence or absence of an object and/or to provide feedback regarding the current state of a given process. With certain variations, many of these switches can be used to provide both a mechanical and electrical switch. The D5B-5021 is one such switch specially designed for certain industrial and electrical applications requiring high accuracy and durability.

The D5B-5021 is a type of snap-action limit switch that operates with a mechanical movement of a toggle lever. This lever provides the needed input to an electrical circuit and/or to a mechanical devices such as a motor, when activated. The switch is designed with a microbial style body, that is small and relatively robust, making it suitable for high moisture and dust environments. The contact rating for this switch is 10A @ 250vAC, and the mechanical life is 10,000,000 operations. Furthermore, the actuation force is rated at 5N, and the actuation travel is 0.2 - 0.4mm.

In terms of features and construction, this switch benefits from a silver nickel-plated plunger, zinc die casting housing and bright chrome bezel. Also included with the switch is a steel terminal spring and a standard 0.2Nm torque knob. When installed and utilized, the switch provides a wide range of terminal and actuator options, allowing users to construct custom control solutions. The range of available options includes various Moved contacts, terminal strips and pressure plates, or you can choose a unit with strain relief.

In terms of operation, the lever is depressed to cause the switch to move, the electrical contact is brought into contact with the terminals, and the required circuit is completed. Similarly, when the lever is released, the electrical contact is broken and the circuit is closed. It is important to note that the switch is a momentary type of limit switch, meaning that it will only remain active until the lever is released. Also, during operation, the lever is designed to snap into the exact same position when it is released. This ensures highly accurate operation, even in dynamic and uncontrolled environments.

The D5B-5021 is an ideal choice for industrial and electrical applications, particularly in those where accurate and reliable operation is a must. It is capable of withstanding harsh environments, without sacrificing accuracy or precision. Furthermore, the wide range of available configurations provides unparalleled versatility, allowing users to construct modular control solutions that are tailored to their specific requirements.
