WLMG2-LDK43 Switches

Snap action limit switches, such as the WLMG2-LDK43, are used to detect changes in position or motion. They are typically used to detect the presence or position of a mechanical actuator and to provide an electronic signal when activated. The WLMG2-LDK43 is an electromechanical, snap action limit switch that combines a rugged die-cast housing with modern electrical components. It is designed for use in a wide range of applications requiring an economical solution, and offers several features that help make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.

The WLMG2-LDK43 features a die-cast housing that protects against environmental conditions, a heavy-duty metal actuator, and a low profile design. The switch also offers adjustable actuation force and is capable of operating in temperatures up to 250°F. This switch is also equipped with a gold-plated, flat contact for improved switching performance. The switch is UL recognized, CSA listed, and is CE marked.

The WLMG2-LDK43 utilizes a snap action mechanism that is designed to rapidly change the contact state when an actuation force is applied. The force required to activate this switch is adjustable, allowing the user to tailor the switch to their specific application. When the switch is in the “off” position, the actuator is held in place by a plate spring. When an external force is applied, the plate spring is compressed and the actuator snaps, thereby changing the contact state. This rapid change in contact state is what provides the user with an electronic signal.

The WLMG2-LDK43 is an extremely rugged switch, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock. It is ideal for applications where an economical yet reliable solution is required. This switch is most commonly used for detecting the presence or position of a mechanical actuator or for providing an electronic signal when activated. The WLMG2-LDK43 is an excellent choice for a variety of snap action limit switch applications.
