DS2D7BQ3

Working Principle of DS2D7BQ3

The DS2D7BQ3 switch consists of two small metallic elements: a spring and a plunger. When actuated with force, the plunger slides along the spring, which is designed in an arc-shaped curve. As the plunger moves, it activates the contact points of the switch, thereby changing the state of the switch to either open or closed. When the force is removed, the plunger is returned to its original position due to the spring’s tension, thereby deactivating the contacts.

The spring is designed in such a way that it has a high “snap-action”. This refers to the quick action of the spring and the plunger, which allows the switch to be actuated and deactuated in a very short span of time.

Application Field of DS2D7BQ3

The DS2D7BQ3 switch is mainly used in industrial applications, such as factories and process plants, where a quick, reliable switching action is needed. These switches are often found in automated systems, to quickly switch on/off power or actuate other mechanisms depending on certain conditions. DS2D7BQ3 switches are also used in safety-related applications, such as in electric shavers and automated door openers where the closing and opening of contacts needs to be performed in a very short time.

Since DS2D7BQ3 switches are of robust build, they can also be used in other, more demanding situations. This includes operating in extreme temperatures and humid environments which, while hard on other switches, pose no threat to these switches.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the DS2D7BQ3 is a snap action or limit switch which is used primarily in factory, process and safety-related applications. Its quick switching mechanism and robust build make it a suitable choice for applications which need reliable and quick switching action.
