This microswitch is an incredibly sensitive and stable lever switch. Widely used in industrial automation projects, it's also a top - choice for DIY projects and robots. It can detect objects effectively and serves as a simple - to - wire bumper sensor. You'll often find it in DIY 3D printers. Another common use is as a tamper switch in security systems. Specifications include ratings of 5A125VAC/ 3A250VAC, a hinge lever actuator, and an operating temperature range from - 25°C to 85°C. The package includes a datasheet and one Microswitch(SS - 5GL).
Using this microswitch is easy. First, find a suitable place for it in your project, like on a robot or in a 3D printer. Then, wire it up following basic electrical wiring rules. It's simple to attach to objects. When using it as a bumper sensor, make sure it's positioned where it can easily detect impacts. As for a tamper switch in a security system, place it in a spot where any unauthorized movement can trigger it. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside the - 25°C to 85°C range. If you notice any signs of damage or if it stops working properly, refer to the datasheet for troubleshooting.
