New snap action micro switches

Arcolectric has announced 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 versions having operating temperatures of 85°C (T85) and 125°C (T125).

Standard switching function is changeover (momentary 1 side), and the switch 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.

In the case of the V3 package, this is also rated up to 16A, 250Vac, and has 85°C or 125°C operating temperatures. It offers three switching functions - changeover (momentary 1 side), normally open (momentary on) or normally closed (momentary off), and is available without lever, with plain lever, roller lever or 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).

The option of gold plated contacts, additional lever shapes, and alternative terminal types are available for both versions, which are VDE and UL approved and fully RoHS compliant.
