DSLE10(E)F Application Field and Working Principle

DSLE10(E)F is a kind of snap action, limit switch mainly used in various control and circuit functions in electrical systems. They have diverse applications. The most common are for control, signaling and protection of electric motors, heating elements, and resistive load in general. They can also be used for their mechanical properties in conjunction with other components like lamps, bell or buzzers, or even advanced components like push buttons, digital touch screens and temperature detectors.

The working principle of DSLE10(E)F is fairly simple. It consists of two parts: a switching contacts, and an actuator. The switching contacts make or break an electrical current, depending on the position of the actuator. When the actuator is in the down position, the contacts are "closed" and allow the current to flow through the circuit. When the actuator is in the up position, the contacts are "open" and the current cannot pass through.

The actuator is the part responsible for switching the contacts on and off. It is composed of an actuator plate to which a lever is attached. The plate is connected to a push rod, which moves the lever. When the lever is pressed down, it causes the plate to move, which in turn moves the push rod, thus switching the contacts. The contacts are held shut by a small leaf spring that is placed between the plate and the switch base, allowing them to return to their default position when the lever is released.

The actuator and switch contacts are often covered by a protective plastic or metal enclosure for extra safety. The switch base also contains other components, such as mounting screws and wiring terminals, which makes installation easier.

DSLE10(E)F switches are one of the most popular and widely used snap action, limit switches today.They are reliable and efficient, and are used in a variety of applications. They provide an economical solution to a wide range of control, signaling and protection needs, and are an attractive alternative to more expensive solutions.
