V15T16-CP400

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The V15T16-CP400 is a Snap Action, Limit Switch product that has a broad range of applications and a standard operation procedure. It is a check switch, with a variety of design variations, made for usage in a wide range of applications. It contains an actuator that is very responsive, and is mounted on a body, which is made up of zinc die cast and plastic.

Applications

The V15T16-CP400 can be used in a variety of industrial and non-industrial applications. In the industrial field, it can be used for testing, inspecting, controlling, and data collecting processes. It is also used in household appliances, like in washing machines and dishwashers, for sensing items like water and soap levels. Its security applications include detection of unauthorized access and activation of alarms.

Working Principle

The V15T16-CP400 is designed to respond to any mechanical force which causes it to “snap” into position. Its responsive actuator is usually made of two plastic pieces or two metal pieces that come into contact with each other. When the actuator moves, it triggers a switch, which sends an electrical signal to an outside circuit or other device.

The engagement of the C-cup, the plastic cup-shaped actuator, and the actuator is what causes the snap action. When the actuator moves, it puts tension on the detent spring, which forces the C-cup against the actuator. This motion causes the c-cup to snap into place, creating movement of the actuator, which in turn triggers the switch.

Benefits

The V15T16-CP400 is a reliable, cost-effective solution for industrial, non-industrial, and security applications. It is known for high accuracy, flexibility and responsiveness in harsh environments. The temperature range is -40°C to +200°C and the product is IP67 Certified, meaning it is capable of functioning in water pressure close to 1 atmosphere. It is also approved by UL and CCC, ensuring safety and quality.

In addition, the limit switch also provides two-way or multi-way installation options, which allows it to fit into a variety of angles and shapes. Its universal voltage range of 85VAC – 265VAC, allows use in many countries, while its self-locking structure ensures that the switch always remains in the last position.

Conclusion

The V15T16-CP400 is an effective and reliable Snap-Action Limit Switch, with a broad range of applications and a standard operation procedure. Its responsive actuator and C-cup provide high accuracy and a snap action design for sensing and activating circuit activations. It is a cost-effective solution for safety, industrial and non-industrial applications, and is known for being reliable and robust in extreme temperatures.
