MMGGD1W0L

What is a MMGGD1W0L? The MMGGD1W0L is a snap action, limit switch that uses a snap-action actuator to detect, indicate, or perform a control function when actuated at a predetermined mechanical position. The switch can have a maximum of three poles and eight throws, with the standard version having one pole and two throws. The MMGGD1W0L is designed to work with a wide range and temperature range of design criteria.

Application field

The MMGGD1W0L can be used in a variety of applications including switching systems, automotive applications, industrial application, automation and communication, alarm signaling, and HVAC systems. The MMGGD1W0L can be used to switch or control AC and DC voltage, making it an ideal switch for a variety of applications. The device is also available with a range of contact ratings, enabling it to be used for a variety of switch applications and contact levels.

Working Principle

The MMGGD1W0L is a micro-switch that utilizes a snap-action actuator to detect the presence and absence of a load. The actuator has a biasing spring that is typically separated from the contact, which is kept on the contact side by either a cam, or a plunger, or even a leaf-spring. This device acts as both a contact and an actuator, moving between two positions when the circuit is opened or closed.

When an actuating force is applied, the actuator begins to move inside the mechanism, displacing the contact and thus, creating an open or closed circuit Displacement of the contact happens quickly, owing to the action of the bias spring. As soon as actuation pressure is relieved, the bias spring moves the actuator back to the default position, and the switch closes, thus restoring the initial, uninterrupted circuit condition.

In addition to the classic on/off operation, MMGGD1W0L switches can also be used as pilot switches. Pilot switches are powerful and can be used to monitor the movement and position of machines, machining tools, robotic arms, and fixtures. Special types of MMGGD1W0L switches such as pro-cap, spark resistant, side actuated and others are also available to meet specific requirements during operation.

In essence, the MMGGD1W0L is a reliable, precision switch that can be used to create conductive circuits, detect the presence/absence of a load, and also for pilot switching. It is easy to install, and when properly operated, gives consistent results for a long period of time.
