Snap action, limit switches are devices used for a variety of electrical switching purposes. Their main function is to ensure that an electrical circuit is only opened and closed in a controlled way. To this end, they are usually connected to a circuit or machine in order to limit the amount of current flowing through the circuit or machine at any given time, preventing it from being overloaded. The LSU1A series of snap action, limit switches is one such device. Here, we shall discuss this product and its working principle.

To begin with, LSU1A is effectively a miniature mechanical switch that automatically opens and closes electrical circuits when a certain pressure is applied. The device consists of a plunger with a pressure-responsive switch that is connected to a button, a stem, and an actuator. When pressure is applied to the button, the actuator moves, pushing the plunger against the switch. This then opens or closes the circuit depending on the type of circuit. The spring force typically sets the ‘snap’ action, so the switch suddenly changes its position when the plunger is depressed or released.

The working principle of LSU1A switches is simple and efficient. The switch consists of a contact arm, spring, and plunger, connected together in a sequence. The contacts are connected to the terminal, and when the plunger is depressed any current held in the remaining inductive wire is instantly released. The current begins to flow down the wire and, when it reaches a certain level, the contact arm will snap into action, closing the circuit.

When the plunger is released, the spring prevents it from returning to its original position and in this way, the contact arm remains open. This is advantageous if there is a need to avoid unintentional closing of the circuit. This snap action mechanism also ensures that current flow is constant, making it suitable for controlling motors and large equipment. Additionally, the open position of the contact arm is helpful in preventing short circuits.

LSU1A switches are capable of being used in various applications. They are commonly used in the automobile industry, commercial and residential wiring, in electric circuits, to control elevators, motor control applications and for the operation of streetlighting. They can also be used for machine safety applications, such as the prevention of unintended operation of machinery, by using a snap-action switch. Additionally, the snap action switch can be used in combination with other devices, such as timers and thermostats, to provide added protection.

In conclusion, the LSU1A series of snap action, limit switches provide an effective, reliable and cost-effective means of controlling and monitoring the flow of electrical currents. The design of the switch allows for easy installation, with the snap-action mechanism ensuring that currents are not unintentionally released, which reduces the risk of short-circuiting. Furthermore, the switches can be used in a variety of applications and can be adapted to work with other devices, making them a versatile and highly effective tool in any electrical engineering project.
