Wiring Micro Switch
As an electrical equipment R&D engineer, it is indispensable to understand the micro switch’s internal structure and the micro switch’s wiring principle in detail. The “How to Wire A Waterproof Micro Switch” covered how to wire the micro switch. In this article, we will continue to introduce the knowledge of the micro switch with a wire and the internal structure of the micro switch.
Micro switch working principle
The working principle is that the external mechanical force passes through the transmission element, and then the pressure is applied to the action spring. When the displacement of the action spring reaches a critical point, an instantaneous action will be generated, making the end of the action spring its moving contact. The fixed contact can be quickly connected or disconnected, and the reverse action can be completed instantly.
Micro switch inner structure
The micro switch has mini contact and snap-action part inside. The micro switch is widely used In the devices that need to frequently switch circuits for auto control and safety protection, Such as electric equipment, electric system, white goods, new energy car, etc.
The main inner structure of the micro switch has:
- Lever
- Plunger
- Cover
- Internal lever
- Common terminal
- Contacts
- NC/NO terminals
- Case
- Movable Plate
- Spring
Micro switch wire
Micro switch wiring is a kind of micro switch. Usually, the micro switch with three terminals has 3ps wires, And the 3 wires stand for 3 different terminals: COM, NC, and NO terminal.
Like the following pictures, Unionwell G5W11 waterproof micro switch has 3 terminals: COM, NC, and NO, and here are three-wire that can be connected to the products.
At the COM terminal, it always flows through electricity. When the micro switch with wire is resting, the NC terminal will connect to the COM terminal. But when you press the lever, the COM terminals connect to the NO terminals.
