HBS2KCF5SP055C

Snap Action, Limit Switches

HBS2KCF5SP055C is a type of snap action, limit switch. It is a two-pole switch that is designed specifically for low power applications while providing ultimate durability and dependability. Its main application field is high-performance mechanical switching motions. Its basic working principle is to act as an electric interrupt device that opens or closes its connection when a predetermined amount of external force (such as mechanical pressure, gravity, or momentum) is applied to the switch.

Design & Construction

The HBS2KCF5SP055C is constructed as a small, compact, yet durable device. It is made from hard polyester, which is an ideal material for robust capacitive switching. It measures 1.04” x 0.67” x 0.86”, and has a light duty operating life. The environment it operates in must have an ambient temperature of between -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) and have a relative humidity of up to 85%.

Mounting & Terminals

The HBS2KCF5SP055C has two screw mounting options – flat and adjustable. The flat option is suitable when aligning with the equipment while the adjustable option is preferable when dealing with precise alignment needs. There are two terminals on this switch – NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed), and they must be connected to the proper circuit in order for the device to function correctly.

Mechanical Action & Electrical Characteristics

When the external force is applied to the switch, it moves linearly and the contacts open or close. Its electrical characteristics are dependant on the amount of force applied, but generally the contact gap opens up to 2mm and the rated voltage is 3A/125VAC, ¼HP. In addition, the initial contact resistance is 10mΩ max, the insulation resistance is 500MΩ min, and the dielectric strength is 1500V/min.

Benefits

The HBS2KCF5SP055C is a reliable and cost-effective switch for low power applications. It is easy to install and requires no maintenance, making it ideal for various applications. In addition, its hard polyester material offers durability and resistance to mechanical wear, as well as vibration and water resistance.
