A snap action switch, otherwise known as a limit switch, is an electrical switch device with a variety of applications. The switches are designed to react quickly and accurately to changes and are designed to detect and act on an array of inputs, such as movement, pressure, temperature and level. Snap action switches are widely used in many industries for product control and automation. The MBF5C3 is a type of snap action switch, and it is found in a variety of applications.

The MBF5C3 snap action switch is a microswitch type, being a two-pole, two-throw (DPST) switch operated by an externally mounted actuator, typically a lever or paddle. The actuator twists the switch mechanism between an open and closed state, as well as into a third neutral position. The switch is single pole double throw (SPDT) and can control power flow between two circuits. The switch is most commonly used for equipment like pumps, doors and conveyor systems, but can also be used for controlling electrical motors and other operations.

The MBF5C3 is rated for AC currents of up to 10 amps, and DC currents of up to 2.2 amps, at 250 VAC and 30 VDC respectively. The mechanism also has a termination option with a range of screws and solders. The MBF5C3 also has class-F insulation, providing extra protection for the circuit board in the event of an electrical shock. The construction of the MBF5C3 switch enables it to withstand up to 1 million actuation cycles and can operate in a wide range of temperatures

The working principle of the MBF5C3 switch is based on the electrical contact system. When the actuator, typically a paddle or a lever, is triggered, the contacts close and electrical current is then allowed to flow through the system. The current flow is triggered by the movement of the actuator and is then interrupted when the actuator is released. The process is then repeated each time the actuator is pushed or released.

The MBF5C3 switch is useful in a variety of applications, such as in industrial automation systems, manufacturing operations, and safety equipment. It can be used to control pumps, conveyor systems, doors, and other equipment. The switch is also used for controlling electrical motors, for monitoring temperature or pressure levels, or for automated equipment. The switch’s design also enables it to be used in hazardous environments, as it is able to resist mechanical shocks and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

In summary, the MBF5C3 snap action switch is a durable, reliable and versatile two-pole, two-throw (DPST) switch operated by an external actuator, typically a lever or paddle. The switch is most commonly used to control pumps, conveyors, doors and other equipment, as well as electrical motors, temperature and pressure monitoring systems. The switch is highly durable and is rated for AC and DC currents of up to 10 amps and 2.2 amps respectively, and is designed to withstand up to 1 million actuation cycles. The switch is also designed to resist mechanical shocks and to operate in a wide temperature range – making it ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
