E61-00H

Snap Action, Limit Switches are electronic devices primarily used to detect the position of an object specifcally to activate or deactivate an electrical circuit. The E61-00H is a common type of Snap Action, Limit Switch used in many electronic, pneumatic and mechanical applications.

The switch is constructed of a base and operating head. The base houses the contact assembly and the connecting wire terminals. The operating head contains a plunger that facilitates the switching action and the setting mechanism which holds the plunger in place. In operation, movement of the plunger against the contact assembly either opens or closes a set of contacts to complete the circuit.

The E61-00H is a three-position single-pole single-throw switch. It has a standard sensitivity range and operating temperature which makes it suitable for operating in a wide range of environments. The main advantage of this switch is its ability to detect extremely small forces, making it ideal for applications where accuracy is critical.

The E61-00H is typically used in two types of applications. The first is in conjunction with actuators, such as those used on robots or doors. The switch is mounted close to the actuator, and will activate or deactivate the electrical circuit depending on the position of the actuator. The second type of application is to detect the position of an object in a production system. For example, the switch may be used to detect when a carton is in the correct position and activate the electrical circuit to activate the packaging machines.

The working principle of the E61-00H is quite simple. An electrical voltage is fed into the switch. When the plunger is moved it activates an internal contact which completes the circuit, allowing the current to flow. When the plunger is released, it triggers the release mechanism which breaks the connection and stops the flow of current. When this happens, the switch is in the “OFF” position.

The E61-00H is a reliable and robust switch that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is a cost effective way to detect the position of an object and activate or deactivate an electrical circuit. Its accuracy and durability make it the perfect choice for many different applications.
