LSYAC6B-1B

Snap Action, Limit Switches – LSYAC6B-1B application field and working principle

The LSYAC6B-1B snap action limit switch is a popular choice for a wide range of applications and markets. This high-performance device is ideal for use in constructing industries that seek reliable and durable switches. It is used to detect the presence of limit stop or end based on physical or electrical parameters.

The LSYAC6B-1B is a subminiature snap action switch with a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) function. It differs from a two-pole switch in that only the one pole can be activated at the same time. It is designed to perform quickly and consistently in areas where switch activation needs to be accurate. The SPST switch is a type that has both a normally open and a normally closed contact.

The LSYAC6B-1B limit switch is suitable for use in applications where operating temperatures range between –30°C to +85°C. It stands out for its durability and reliability, making it ideal for use in industries such as construction, food and beverage, medical, and automotive. The device is also Shock and Vibration Proof tested and its low mechanical-resistance spring also minimizes contact bounce.

Operation of the LSYAC6B-1B

The LSYAC6B-1B uses a snap-action mechanism that divides its operation into two distinct stages. During the first stage, the actuator is slowly lowered toward the output contact. Once it is in contact with the output contact, electrical current passes through the switch. During the second stage, the snap action is activated, resulting in the rapid opening or closing of the contact. The contact has a very short travel time to ensure accurate and repeatable switching.

Dimensions of the LSYAC6B-1B

The LSYAC6B-1B snap action limit switch is available in several subminiature sizes, ranging from 15 x 8.8 to 17 x 10.6mm. This allows for easy installation and integration into tight spaces without compromising on performance. The external body of the device is constructed using UL 94V-0 Polyamide and is capable of withstanding up to IP50 protection grade.

Advantages of the LSYAC6B-1B

The most noteworthy advantage of the LSYAC6B-1B switch is its reliable and accurate performance. It also boasts of additional features such as:

• The device is designed to operate quickly and consistently.
• It is suitable for use in a broad range of applications in a variety of industries.
• It stands up to high temperature and vibration.
• It is made from UL 94V-0 Polyamide, allowing for use in hostile environments.

Conclusion

The LSYAC6B-1B snap action limit switch is a high-performance and reliable device that is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Its integrated shock and vibration proof features make it ideal for use in hostile environments while its small size allows for easy installation and integration in tight spaces. It is the go-to switch for many industries, thanks to its accurate and repeatable operation.
