WLCA2-255

A Snap Action, Limit Switch is a complex and often finicky device to work with. The WLCA2-255 is no exception. This small but versatile piece of hardware is commonly used for various applications in the industrial, medical and aerospace sectors. It is also widely used in consumer electronics and products such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and other appliances. The WLCA2-255 is a low-cost, high-reliability switch with a reliable, compact design that makes it perfect for use in tight spaces.

The WLCA2-255 switch is a simple, single-pole, single-throw (SPST) contact device, meaning it consists of only two terminals that are controlled by an external force or object. It is designed to be used when an electrical connection needs to be made only when an external force is applied to the switch. For example, when a person steps onto a platform, the weight is transferred to the switch which in turn closes the two terminals, enabling the circuit to complete the connection.

The WLCA2-255 is made of a cast metal shell which houses the moving contact. When the switch is at rest, typically with no external forces applied, the moving contact is opened and the electrical connection is broken. When a force is applied, either from an external object, pressure, or movement such as a person stepping onto the platform, the moving contact is closed and the electrical connection is made.

The WLCA2-255 switch employs a rapid-fire latch action that enables quick switching on and off of the electrical connection. This rapid-action feature ensures that the connection is quick and reliable even with frequent use. The WLCA2-255 is also equipped with a unique “push-to-release” feature that provides an easy and quick way to reset the switch.

The WLCA2-255 is designed to last. It features a robust construction, designed to withstand up to 250 million “on/off” cycles. This makes it highly reliable and suitable for use in harsh environments and frequent-use applications. The switch also features a wide variety of mounting styles and options, allowing it to fit into tight spaces and odd-shaped enclosures.

The WLCA2-255 switch is the perfect choice for applications that require quick and reliable operation in harsh environments or with frequent use. It is cost efficient, reliable and versatile. The rugged construction and wide variety of mounting options make it one of the most widely used Snap Action, Limit Switches in the world today.
