TL4024-20242

Snap-action, limit switches are electrical switches that are typically used to turn a circuit on or off either manually or upon the detection of predetermined physical conditions. Typically they are connected as part of a circuit with other electrical components, and they serve as a physical switch to either open or close off the circuit. The TL4024-20242 is one these types of switches and is designed to react to pressure, current, temperature or other physical changes.

The TL4024-20242 is a pressure-sensitive, snap-action switch that’s used for detecting for high pressure, low pressure, and differential pressure. It uses either a mechanical or electrical mechanism to break or make a circuit connection when predetermined pressure thresholds are crossed. This switch is typically placed in the closed position and its design is such that when pressure is applied, the switch “snaps” open and when it is removed, the switch “snaps” closed. This makes it a reliable switch for monitoring pressure changes.

The TL4024-20242 snap-action, limit switch is the ideal solution for detecting extremes in pressure, such as leak detection and pressure monitoring. Where safety is a concern, these types of switch are commonly used in the automotive and manufacturing industries, in order to prevent critical pressure build-ups and hazardous scenarios. The switch can also be used in water treatment systems and to monitor pressure levels in pipelines, control valves, and other pressure-sensitive applications.

These switches are typically constructed using stainless steel and feature a compact, lightweight design. As a result, they can be easily mounted, and they typically benefit from a long manufacturing service life. These products typically feature standard connection options, including M8, M12, and RJ45 connectors, allowing them to be easily integrated with other devices in the same circuit.

The principle behind the TL4024-20242 is based on the variable contact angle of the contact type. When the pressure is below the preset threshold, the contact angle is small; if the pressure is above the threshold, then the contact angle is larger, allowing for a break in the circuit. Depending on the design of the switch, it can be used to detect either low pressure or high pressure. It features a range of pressure thresholds, and can be adjusted to the required pressure limits of the particular circuit.

The TL4024-20242 snap-action, limit switch is a sophisticated design, offering reliability and ease of use in the toughest of applications. With the ability to detect extreme pressure changes, it is the ideal solution for safety and monitoring in a variety of pressuresensitive applications.
