SC14M1S18

SC14M1S18 is a type of multi-purpose contact switch. The broad range of applications includes residential, commercial, industrial, and medical grade electrical devices. The contacts are hermetically sealed to ensure safe and reliable operation and meet the toughest standards for durability and long-term switch life in high shock and vibration applications. The contacts are riveted to the main body which is composed of stainless steel, making them highly resistant to corrosion.

This multi-purpose contact switch provides several distinct advantages including its wide area of coverage, the ability to accept several different electrical loads, and its long life. Additionally, its wide area of coverage allows it to be used in situations ranging from controlling circuit breakers for high-usage situations, to small-scale home wiring projects.

The SC14M1S18 operates with two small electrically conductive plates, held apart by springs and isolated from each other. The contacts are made when the spring-loaded contact arms are compressed, and they remain closed until the current drops below a certain level. This is due to the fact that the contact arms submit to a type of latching action, keeping them closed until they release due to a decrease in the electrical current.

The SC14M1S18 is capable of handling a wide range of electrical loads. It is rated for up to two hundred fifty amperes of current and is UL and CSA certified for use on circuits carrying up to 600 volts. Additionally, it is designed to handle DC, AC, or pulsed AC circuits. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from large industrial projects to small home wiring jobs.

The SC14M1S18 is designed to have a long lifetime. The presence of a unique pre-tensioning spring makes sure the switch mounts securely and provides a longer possible contact life. The mounting hardware is designed to minimize physical stress on the switch, allowing it to move without experiencing any undue stress. The riveted contacts also add to the switch\'s long life by providing a sturdy, corrosion-resistant construction.

In summary, the SC14M1S18 contact switch is a multi-purpose device that has many advantages. Its broad area of coverage, ability to accept high electrical loads, and long life make it an ideal switch for a wide range of applications. Thanks to its riveted contacts and pre-tensioning spring, it is reliable and durable, allowing it to stand up to a wide range of conditions.
