T4011-022TCN

Snap Action, Limit Switches

T4011-022TCN is a common snap action limit switch with a wide range of potential applications. These switches shown immediate \'snap action\' when triggered and can be configured to provide a variety of responses, including a on/off contact, momentary contact and a latching contact. It is available in a variety of forms with different ratings and sizes.

Overview

The T4011-022TCN snap action limit switch is rated at 15 Amps and has a break-before-make operating system, making it safer and more reliable than some alternatives. It is designed with a glowing element which creates a \'snap action\' and allows for an easy, visible indication that the switching mechanism has been engaged. The response time of the switch is 0.015 seconds and can reach a maximum of 15A at 125V.

Applications

T4011-022TCN switches are commonly used motor control applications due to their high-power rating, durability and low response time. These switches can be used for a variety of applications ranging from industrial automation, automotive and aerospace. They are used in applications requiring a reliable switching mechanism and a long-service life.

Specifications

The T4011-022TCN snap action limit switch is rated at 15A and has a break-before-make operating system. It measures 30.5 x 30.5 x 48.3mm and is designed with a UL/CSA approved reliable glow mechanism. It also has a single-pole single-throw (SPDT) contact configuration, with a operating temperature of -20C - +65C.

Working Principle

The T4011-022TCN switch operates with a glow-coil mechanism. When a voltage is applied to the switch’s terminals, the glow-coil creates an electromagnetic force that causes the contacts of the switch to rapidly move and make contact with one another. This is what creates the ‘snap action’ of the switch and performs the switching function. The switch is designed to operate at 15 Amps and can remain in a reliable condition for up to 40,000 cycles.

Conclusion

The T4011-022TCN is a common snap action limit switch used for motor control applications. It operates with a ‘break before make’ system and has a typical response time of 0.015 seconds, making it reliable and easy to operate. This switch is rated at 15 Amps and can withstand up to 40,000 switching cycles. It is also UL/CSA approved and meets the requirements and regulations of many applications.
