V7-5F17D8-000-3

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The V7-5F17D8-000-3 is an electrical component known as a snap action, limit switch. In essence, it is an electrical switch device that operates with a snapping action. This switch is typically used to limit and protect control systems and their components, allowing users to provide a reliable switch configuration over a wide range of environmental conditions.

A snap action, limit switch consists of several internal parts, including a switch arm, contact points, spring and actuator. The snap action itself is caused by the triggering of the switch arm, which is located within the contact points of the switch. The switch arm is connected to the actuator, which is connected to the spring. When a current is applied to the switch, the switch arm moves into contact with the switch contacts and cause it to snap shut. This creates a triggering effect, allowing the switch to send a signal that can be used to control other systems.

The V7-5F17D8-000-3 is designed for a wide range of applications, including industrial, commercial and residential control applications. It can be used in applications requiring reliable operation in both wet and dry environments, as well as in extreme conditions. Additionally, the V7-5F17D8-000-3 is designed to be used in high-temperature applications, with a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. The switch is also designed for use in hazardous locations, as it meets UL, CSA, and CE requirements for use in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 applications, with an IP67 protection rating.

In terms of performance, the V7-5F17D8-000-3 employs a snap action mechanism to operate the switch. This allows for a fast switching times and a minimum number of operations before failure. Additionally, the switch is capable of monitoring a wide range of electrical loads with a very low current draw of less than 0.125mA. This allows the switch to provide reliable monitoring of even small electrical loads, as well as higher loads such as heavy machinery.

When it comes to installation, the V7-5F17D8-000-3 switch can be mounted in a variety of ways depending on the application. The switch is designed to accommodate mounting holes up to 6.4 mm in diameter, which allows for both vertical and horizontal mounting. Additionally, the switch is rated for up to 21 Nm of torque, making it suitable for direct-mount applications.

To sum up, the V7-5F17D8-000-3 is a powerful and reliable snap action, limit switch designed for a wide range of applications. It features a snap action mechanism for fast switching, as well as a low current requirement and a variety of mounting options. Additionally, the switch is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 150° C, making it well-suited for high-temperature applications. Finally, the V7-5F17D8-000-3 is UL, CSA and CE approved for use in hazardous locations, making it an ideal choice for a variety of control systems.
