Microswitch
Microswitches for control systems, displacement sensors, and position switches
A micro switch is defined as a switch in which the contacts, in the open position, are no more than three millimeters apart. Micro switches are installed in a wide variety of electrical devices and offer numerous applications in control systems, position sensors, and positioning circuits. They therefore often form an important link between the machine and the control unit.
Our range of micro switches includes, for example:
- micro switches for commercial and military projects
- micro switches with or without lever
- micro switches with front or end terminals
- micro switches as normally closed, normally open, or changeover switches
Our micro switches come from the well-known manufacturer OTTO Controls, which has stood for high-quality switches and pushbuttons for many decades. The company manufactures all products with the highest level of precision.
Microswitch by ALDERS
Micro switches with lever, as normally closed contacts, and numerous other specifications
We at ALDERS distribute various types of micro switches including accessories from OTTO Controls. The B1 series, for example, offers a low-level switching function and was developed in accordance with MIL-PRF-8805/94 requirements. The switches in this series withstand up to 100,000 switching cycles, while the lever-equipped micro switches in the B1-5 series withstand up to one million cycles. This type enables particularly easy operation in certain control applications. The B2 series micro switches are available in two sizes, allowing you to select the right switch for many different applications. The B2 series is approved for military use in accordance with MIL-PRF-8805/4, MIL-PRF-8805/106, and MIL-PRF-8805/109. The B3 series is a micro switch in a 0.200-inch size that meets all requirements of MIL-PRF-8805/76. It is also available in a 0.156-inch version and in this form complies with MIL-PRF-8805101.
All products withstand up to one million switching cycles and have a contact resistance of less than 25 mΩ. Both the B3 and B5 series feature a Double-Break specification, ensuring that the circuit is interrupted at two points simultaneously. All micro switches from OTTO Controls are designed to be highly robust so they can withstand heavy loads and numerous switching operations.
