The snap-action switch S826 is a diverse microswitch for medium and low power ranges. As a changeover contact, it can open one circuit and close a second with one actuation. The mechanical positive opening ensures reliable opening. The two contact bridges are galvanically isolated. In every switch operation, they rub in a defined fashion on the V-shaped fixed contacts and ensure a high level of contact reliability. This snap-action switch is therefore particularly suited to the switching of low currents and voltages in safety applications, primarily as a position switch or as an end position switch. For use in aggressive environments with low switching frequencies, we recommend gold contacts.

Features

Changeover contact with two galvanically isolated contact bridges.

Microswitches with two galvanically isolated contact bridges which are both attached in the plunger and are guided by it. When the snap-action switch is actuated, the bottom bridge opens the bottom contact pair (connections 1 and 2) and the top bridge closes the top contact pair (connections 3 and 4).

Self-cleaning double contacts

In every switching process, the contact bridges rub in a defined fashion on the V-shaped fixed contacts and remove corrosion and combustion residue. Permanently low contact resistances ensure a high level of contact reliability throughout the service life.

Reliable switching of low currents

With self-cleaning silver contacts, small currents can be connected reliably and frequently. In chemically aggressive environments and with low switching frequencies, we recommend gold contacts.

Break contacts with positive opening

If the break contacts fuse in the event of a short circuit, the catch spring can no longer open. It is nevertheless opened reliably via the lever of the positive opening. This is a positive opening as outlined in DIN EN 60947-5-1, annex K.

Dimensions 50 x 28,5 x 12 mm (L x H x B)

This is the maximum dimensions of the housing. The dimensions of the actuator and of the connections must be added. For all dimensions and drawings please refer to the following product catalogue:
