W-10FB3

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The W-10FB3 is a type of snap action, limit switch. It has a wide application field where it is used to detect and control the measurements of mechanical motion and electrical current. It typically performs an "on/off" type functionality, meaning the switch can start or stop a particular function.

The switch is constructed of various materials such as metal, plastic and nylon. The outer body is designed to be splash-proof and dustproof, making it ideal for use in applications where there is potential for wetness or dirt. It is also designed for long-term durability and reliability.

The W-10FB3 consists of two parts, the switch body and an actuator. The actuator acts as the input and has various configurations depending on the application. The actuator is what is moved to trigger the switch. This can be in the form of a button, lever, roller, cam or plunger.

The W-10FB3 works by using a snap action principle. The actuator disturbs a spring-loaded plunger or contact arm inside the switch. When this is done, the plunger moves either upwards or downwards depending on the direction of the movement. As a result, the contacts separate, either connecting or opening the switch. This opens or closes the circuit, allowing for the operation of a device or machines associated with it.

This type of switch is generally designed to be used in indoor applications. It can handle voltage ranging from a few millivolts to a few hundred volts and general purpose loads up to 1 amp. It is often used in the home appliances and industrial automation sector, such as in amusement machines, vending machines and various factory automation processes.

The W-10FB3 is a reliable and durable switch that is useful in a wide range of applications. It is able to operate in difficult conditions with very reliable performance and offers a variety of mounting options. It also provides excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
