V-10-1A5 Application Field and Working Principle

The V-10-1A5 snap action, limit switches are devices that mechanicallyoperate electrical switches when pushed, pulled, or rotated. Limit switches are commonly used to detect the presence or absence of objects and can provide precisely timed control of processes.

Application Field

The V-10-1A5 snap action, limit switches are suitable for use in numerous environments and applications, including sealing, electrical supply, mechanical machinery, and telecommunications. They can be used in applications ranging from door locks and light switches to pumps and access control systems.

The V-10-1A5 switches are often used in safety-critical applications and are rated to IP67 for water and dust resistance. They can also be used in hazardous environments due to their ATEX certification.

Working Principle

The V-10-1A5 snap action, limit switches feature a mechanical lever or cam that is attached to a contact block. When the lever is moved, the contact block is displaced and causes two contacts to touch each other, completing an electrical circuit.

The V-10-1A5 switches can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the application. Manually operated switches require a user to physically push, pull, or rotate the lever to activate the switch. Automatically operated switches are designed to respond to an external trigger, such as a pressure change, movement, or light.

Conclusion

The V-10-1A5 snap action, limit switches are versatile and reliable devices used for controlling a wide range of processes. They are suitable for use in many different environments and applications, and can be operated manually or automatically.
