Snap Action Micro Switches

Arcolectric is proud to announce the launch of their comprehensive new range of snap action micro switches, available in two industry standard packages: V3 and V4.

These two new expanded ranges offer greater choice with more lever options and operating pressures to extend their potential applications. Tested to at least one million operations and manufactured from UL94V-0 rated flame retardant materials, these switches can be used in the most demanding of applications.

The V4 industry standard package is rated up to 5A, 250Vac and is available in two operating temperatures; T85 (85°C) & T125 (125°C). Standard switching function is changeover (momentary 1 side) but other options are available for volume usage. The V4 is available without lever (with standard actuator or a domed actuator) or with plain lever, roller lever or 'snake' lever with operating forces of 80, 160 and 230 grams, further configurations are available for large volume usage. Terminations include 2.8mm tabs, solder tabs, and straight or angled PCB spills.

The V3 package is rated up to 16A, 250Vac and has two operating temperatures: T85 (85°C) and T125 (125°C). Three switching functions are offered; changeover (momentary 1 side), normally open (momentary on), normally closed (momentary off). The V3 is available without lever, with plain lever, roller lever and with 'snake' lever with operating forces of 50, 100, 200 & 350 grams, further configurations are available on request.

Extensive terminal styles include solder tabs, 4.8mm & 6.3mm tabs and RAST 5 tabs (6.3mm tabs on 5mm pitch).

Further options for both types include; gold plated Contact, additional lever shapes and other terminal types.

Both sizes of switch have VDE and UL approvals and are fully RoHS compliant.
