Snap Action, Limit Switches

MBZ101A01C04B02 is a type of snap action limit switch manufactured by the Panasonic Corporation. It is a one-piece, single-pole plastic switch designed for commercial, industrial, and residential use. The switch is characterized by a compact body and a light and tight feel, giving it superior resistance to dirt and dust. The MBZ101A01C04B02 is available with various terminal components, including single- and double-ended cords, as well as various contact points and actuators.

Application Field

The applications of MBZ101A01C04B02 include control systems, machine tools, packaging machinery, and industrial process control. These switches can be applied in a variety of applications, including general-purpose applications requiring snap action, limit switches. They are also suitable for form filling, printing, and metalworking applications, providing accuracy and reliability at a reasonable cost. This type of limit switch is also suitable for HVAC, fire alarm systems, door-holding applications, and as door-closed switches in control systems.

Working Principle

The core of MBZ101A01C04B02 snap action limit switch is a one-piece, single-pole plastic switching device. This type of switch is characterized by a short, snap-acting contact. The snap-action contact is produced by the spring-loaded contact arm. The contact arm is actuated by an accurately designed plunger, which is mounted in a stainless steel housing. The plunger is actuated when the arm is depressed by an external force, such as a lever, cam, or other outside force.

When the plunger is actuated, the arm snaps into position, making contact with the contacts on the switch. This connects two electrical circuits, thereby activating servos and motors, controlling relays, and signaling alarm systems. As the plunger release is continued, the arm retracts, breaking the contact and stopping the circuitry. The MBZ101A01C04B02 is equipped with a "snap-action" feature that sets it apart from other switch types. The snap-action feature improves the action time of the switch, thereby reducing the time it takes for the circuitry to be activated.

The MBZ101A01C04B02 is an economical, reliable switch suitable for a variety of applications. In addition, it provides a short and precise snap-action response and a long life expectancy due to its corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing. The snap action limit switch has been adopted by various industries and is considered one of the most reliable switches in the market.
