WLCA12-2LE-N

Snap Action, Limit Switches

WLCA12-2LE-N is a snap action, limit switch designed for use in a variety of applications. The switch consists of a highly durable actuator, a plunger-style external operator, and an electrical contact that closes or opens the electrical circuit when the plunger is activated. This device is able to handle many switching applications, and is able to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.

Application Field

The WLCA12-2LE-N can be used for various sensing applications, including light switches, door open/close sensing, temperature sensing and safety/security systems. The switch is also commonly used for automation and machine control, such as conveyor start/stop, assembly, process control and material handling.

Working Principle

The switch operates on the principle that when the plunger tip is pressed, a metal plate moves, closing the internal electrical contacts. When the plunger is released, the plate moves back to its initial position and unlocks the contacts, opening the circuit. This switch is equipped with a powerful spring mechanism which ensures that when the actuator is pressed, the plunger will snap back to its original position.

The device is designed with adjustable depth settings, which makes it easy to customize the desired activation parameters. This feature also helps in achieving a wide range of sensitivity, from highly sensitive to very stiff.

The WLCA12-2LE-N is highly reliable and has a long service life. The device is rated for up to 5 million mechanical operations, and its great life expectancy is due to the strong mechanical parts and superior materials used in its construction.

Conclusion

The WLCA12-2LE-N snap action limit switch from is a reliable and versatile switch that is often used in a variety of applications, from light switches and door open/close sensing to temperatures sensing and safety/security systems. The adjustable depth settings allow the device to be customized to meet specific needs, while the powerful spring mechanism ensures that the plunger is always snapped back to its original position when the switch is released.
