E63-00A

Snap action, Limit switches are a type of electromechanical switch that is activated when a certain amount of force is applied to a specified button. The E63-00A is a typically snap action limit switch with a wide range of applications.

The E63-00A snap action limit switch consists of a normally open and a normally closed switch. It features a double break contact configuration and relies on a mechanical snapping mechanism to create the break in contact. The main components of this switch are the body, the actuator, the adjustable sensing element, and the switch contacts. It is designed to be durable and reliable due to its solid brass or aluminum body construction.

This switch is typically used in applications requiring a normally open or normally closed switch where the switch must respond to a particular force or condition. The switch is suitable for use in industrial machinery such as conveyor belts, food processors and machinery, machinery for materials handling, packaging machinery, transport systems, automated production lines, and robotics. The switch can also be used in applications such as doorbells, thermostats, push buttons, and electronic control systems.

The E63-00A has a sensitive and adjustable operating force range of 0.29–7.06N (3–44 lbf). It is rated for a voltage of 12–240V and a current of 0.2–10A. The contact resistance is 12mΩ or less and the insulation resistance is 100MΩ or greater. It is also UL approved and meets UL1054 requirements.

The working principle of the E63-00A is simple and involves the application of a specific force or motion to the sensing element of the switch. This sensing element is adjustable and can be set to respond to the prescribed amount of force or motion. The force or motion results in the contacts of the switch either making or breaking the electrical connection. In theory, when a current-carrying conductor is inserted into the switch, the contacts will close and the current will flow. When the current is interrupted, the contacts will open, breaking the electrical connection and cutting off the current flow.

The E63-00A snap action limit switch is a versatile and reliable product for a wide range of applications. It is durable, easy to install and maintain, and is UL approved for safety. It is ideal for use in industrial machinery, commercial and residential applications, and electronic control systems.
