LSA1A13

Snap Action, Limit Switches

LSA1A13 is a snap-action, limit switch for industrial applications, widely used in consumer electronics, home automation, food and beverage, safety, and industrial applications. This type of limit switch is also known as a “tact switch” because it snaps open or closed when the actuator is actuated. When the actuator is triggered, a metal ball in the center of the switch body contacts the internal electrical contacts, creating a connection and completing an electrical circuit.

The LSA1A13 limit switch features a 4-pole design, which is optimized for use in safety relay applications, providing an electrical connection regardless of the current state of the switch. This type of switch offers superior reliability and excellent control of the switching process. The switch is designed to withstand tough industrial applications, with a temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C and a DC voltage range of 5 V to 30 V and a maximum current rating of 2 A.

The working principle of the LSA1A13 is quite simple. The internal switch is actuated by a small metal ball moving downward when an electrical current is applied. When the current is turned off, the metal ball slides up and the internal switch disconnects. This disconnection triggers an external switch which then closes the circuit, completing the electrical connection.

The LSA1A13 limit switch is a versatile device which can be used in a wide variety of industrial applications. It is used to automatically switch on and off electrical circuits or to control the operation of electrical equipment or machinery. The switch can be used in safety relay applications where a connection must be maintained even when the switch is in the off position. Additionally, the switch is used to detect the presence of an object, such as a hand reaching inside a machine, or the movement of a door or window.

The LSA1A13 is an ideal choice for industrial applications that require reliable, switchable electrical circuits. This type of switch offers superior performance in rugged environments and can be used in applications where temperature ranges, high voltage, and high currents are encountered. The switch is reliable, cost-effective, and easy to install and maintain.
