Snap action switches had been around for the past hundred years and have been used in applications ranging from automobiles to domestic electrical appliances. It is basically a switch which snaps open and shut depending on the intensity of the electrical current that passes through it. GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch is a particular type of snap action switch ideal for trigger applications where minor movements may cause problems. This article explains the application field as well as the working principle of the GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch.

Application Field

The GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch is ideally suitable for applications where fine electrical triggers are needed. It is mostly used in applications that require precise and reliable triggering action, such as in automotive and electronics industries. This switch can be used as a beam-break, pressure switch, trigger switch, door switch, etc. It has been found to be a cost-effective alternative to more expensive proportionally actuated switches used in such applications.

Working Principle

GLDC03A4J snap action limit switches basically consist of a switch blade with a spring loaded contact. The contact is closed when the switch blade is in its closed position. When a current is applied, the switch blade is moved away from the contact which opens the contact. This causes an interruption in the circuit, which then can actuate a relay or trigger an electronic device. This switching action of the GLDC03A4J is limited by the size of the switch—if the force of the current is greater than the weight of the blade, the blade is projected off the contact.

The GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch is designed with a very low operating power to ensure accurate and reliable switching action. This switch is also equipped with a visual indicator, a contact positioner, a coupling nut and modular terminal block, enabling it to be easily installed without any external wiring.

It is important to note that the GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch cannot be used in hazardous environments. It is designed to work within a specified range of temperature and humidity. Moreover, it is recommended to use a surge suppressor between the switch and the power source to reduce the risk of damage caused by overvoltage.

Conclusion

GLDC03A4J snap action limit switch is applicable in a wide range of applications where precise and reliable triggering action is needed. Its considerable cost effectiveness over proportionally actuated switches has made it a popular and preferred choice for automotive and electronics industries. Its low operating power ensures that the switch is capable of providing accurate and reliable switching for long time intervals.
