V-156-3A5

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The V-156-3A5 is a snap action, limit switch designed to detect the position of moving machine parts and activate or deactivate electrical circuits. The switch features superior contact stability, galvanized steel housing, copper alloy contacts, and single break/make operation. It is typically used in a wide variety of automated equipment, such as conveyors, moving parts and assembly machines.

Working Principle

The V-156-3A5 relies on a spring-loaded contact arm to detect the position of moving machine parts. The arm is actuated when the part reaches a predetermined position and its movement triggers an electrical circuit. The contact arm is designed to react to the slightest movement and its spring mechanism keeps it in position until the next actuation. As the arm moves, the electrical contacts make and break the circuit, allowing the switch to operate in a wide range of temperatures.

Dimensions

The V-156-3A5 has dimensions of 2.3"W x 1.77"H. Its contact rating is 15A at 277VAC and its dielectric strength is 1000VAC. Its operating temperature is -40C to 85C and its operational humidity is 95%.

Installation

The V-156-3A5 can be easily installed in a variety of applications. It comes with two pre-drilled holes for mounting and a mounting plate for easy attachment to the machine or equipment. Its spring-loaded contact arm is adjustable and can be adjusted to suit a variety of different applications. The switch also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year limited warranty.

Advantages

The V-156-3A5 offers a number of advantages when compared to traditional limit switches. Its quick response and accurate operation ensure reliable and timely operation of the machine. It is also designed to operate in harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures, dust, and dirt. It is also relatively inexpensive and comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Conclusion

The V-156-3A5 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications requiring precise equipment positioning. It is designed to operate accurately and quickly in a wide range of environments. Its steel housing, galvanized contacts and adjustable contact arm, provide an easy installation and robust operation. It is an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications, particularly in automated machines.
