LSYEC1AE

Snap action limit switches, also known as micro switches, are electromechanical devices. They are used to control circuits by connecting and interrupting electrical power. Generally speaking, limit switches are contact switches used in commercial installations, mechanical assemblies, and industrial automation.

LSYEC1AE is one of the types of snap action limit switches. It is a Standard Nylon Lever-Operation Micro Switch with IP50/IP55 protection rating. It features a choice of different actuators, with a handle lever operating on the small, subminiature size switch that makes contact with a gold-tocontacts alloy.

The main application fields of this switch are industrial machine automation, electronic office equipment, instruments and avionics equipment, and medical devices. It can also be used in home appliances such as washing machines, kitchen appliances, and audio-video equipment. In addition, this particular model can be used in hazardous areas.

The primary working principle of this switch is that the mechanically-applied force causes the contacts to close and make a connection. When the force is removed, either from the actuating lever or from the internal mechanism, the contacts open and the connection is broken. The contacts are opened and closed by the Contact Armature, which is the movable part of the switch.

The LSYEC1AE switch utilizes a mix of various technological and structural elements, such as a sealed interior casing, a glass-filled nylon lever, and a zinc-plated steel frame. This makes the switch robust and capable of withstanding harsh and intense environments. The frame of the switch is also insulated to protect against any external electric shock.

This micro switch contains two different kinds of contacts: normally open and normally closed. The normally open type is when the naturally existing electric circuit is produced when the contact is closed. On the other hand, the normally closed type is when the electric circuit is naturally off when the contact is closed. They also contain a third, dead contact, which requires the actuating lever to be operated in order to actuate the switch.

In addition to the two main types of contacts, the LSYEC1AE switch also contains a number of other contact options, such as double break, double make, and gold contacts. The gold contacts increase the electrical performance and durability, as gold is the most corrosion-resistant metal.

The LSYEC1AE switch from Siemens is a reliable, durable, and high quality limit switch. Thanks to its robust design and versatile configuration, it can be used in a wide variety of applications, from home appliances and office equipment to industrial machining and hazardous areas.
