Golf Cart Power Control System Microswitch 

 

The golf cart micro switch controls the golf cart’s accelerator pedal. When you start your club golf cart pedal, your pedal will have a force at the lever of the micro switch, then the micro switch activates and connects the power circuit. The connecting micro switch lets the cart motor offer more power to start running smoothly.

Unionwell, the micro switch manufacturer, offers a large selection of micro switches for various applications for all club golf cart models, utility vehicles, and personnel carriers. And Unionwell G5 micro switches are used in golf cart parts. They are used at the accelerator pedal to signal to the solenoid that you have depressed the pedal and are ready to go. 

In an electric golf cart, the solenoid sends power to the controller to move the cart. In a gas golf cart, the solenoid sends power to the starter/generator to start spinning the engine.

Unionwell G19 waterproof micro switches also serve a purpose as part of the forward and reverse direction selector switch on many golf carts. In this application, they can be used to provide a signal to indicate which direction the switch is in or to activate a reverse buzzer.
