Multicomp Pro Snap Action Micro Switch, Hinge Lever, SPST-NC, 3A, 125V AC

The Multicomp Pro MP005562 is a high-precision, snap-action micro switch designed for reliable operation in a wide range of electrical applications. This miniature switch features a SPST-NC (Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Closed) contact configuration, making it ideal for circuits that require a default closed state. The inclusion of a hinge lever actuator provides positive, repeatable actuation with a low operating force, ensuring consistent performance over its long service life.

Engineered for durability, the switch boasts excellent electrical characteristics, including a low contact resistance of just 100mΩ and a high insulation resistance of 100MΩ. These specifications minimise power loss and prevent leakage currents, making it suitable for sensitive control circuits. Its compact dimensions allow for installation in space-constrained environments, from consumer electronics to industrial control panels.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reliable Snap-Action Mechanism: Ensures fast, positive contact switching, which prevents contact arcing and enhances switch longevity.
• Low Operating Force: With a maximum operating force of just 40gf (gram-force), this switch is perfect for applications where actuation pressure is minimal.
• Hinge Lever Actuator: The lever provides mechanical advantage, allowing for precise activation and making it suitable for use with cams, sliding mechanisms, or moving parts.
• Robust Electrical Rating: Rated for 3A at 125V AC, it is capable of handling a variety of low-power AC switching tasks with confidence.
• PC Pin Terminals: The solderable PC pin terminals facilitate secure and straightforward mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) for integrated electronic assemblies.

This micro switch is a versatile and dependable component trusted by engineers for its consistent quality and performance in demanding situations.
