SSLE12(G)

SSLE12(G) is a form of snap action limit switch, which is defined as a component used in both industrial and commercial circuits for breaking and making electrical circuits. A limit switch is a specialized form of switch that mainly controls the up and down movements of mechanical devices, such as a machine tool or elevator. The SSLE12(G) is a normally-open, micro-switch and is capable of operating in either a “quick-make, slow-break” or “quick-break, slow-make” mode. Upon actuation, the SSLE12(G) contacts open and close quickly, ensuring reliable switching and a longer-life span. Moreover, the SSLE12(G) is a dependable, quality-crafted device with many features, such as high switching accuracy, low contact resistance and high repeatability, which make it suitable for a variety of applications.

The SSLE12(G) is constructed with two spring-loaded contacts, a spring arm extending from the actuator, and a plunger to move the arm. When the plunger is forced in, the spring arm is released and the contacts will open or close, depending on the type of circuit, alternately when the plunger is released. This action is known as the “snap action”, and the result of it is the establishment of a switch that can make and break electrical connections with both quickness and accuracy. As a result, the SSLE12(G) is suitable for a variety of applications where high frequency switching is needed.

The SSLE12(G) is a type of manually operated limit switch which has its contacts set up to open and close rapidly when the plunger is pressed. It is typically used as an emergency stop control, enabling a user to instantly open an otherwise closed circuit. Additionally, the SSLE12(G) can be used for on-off or off-on operations. It is also used for controlling mechanisms in elevators, such as the door closing and locking mechanisms. As a result, it is a safety switch that can stop a mechanism when an unsafe condition is detected.

In terms of working principle, the SSLE12(G) relies on a spring-loaded arm, which is connected to the plunger. When the plunger is pressed, it will cause the arm to move, thereby allowing the contacts to open or close. This action is called snapping, and is characterized by a quick and accurate movement. Additionally, the SSLE12(G) contacts can be set in either the open or closed position, thanks to its solid construction.

The SSLE12 (G) limit switch is perfect for applications including machine tools, conveying equipment, packaging lines and electronic security panels, and is also suitable for use in hazardous locations. With its reliable performance and solid construction, it is easy to see why the SSLE12 (G) is one of the most popular and dependable snap action limit switches available today.
