Crouzet Snap Action, Limit Switches 83170808

The Snap Action Limit Switch, part number 966-83170808-ND, features a high precision flexible leaf snap-action mechanism, allowing operation without a balance point even at slow actuating speeds. It is rated for electrical loads from 1 mA at 4 V to 12(6) A at 250 V AC, with a mechanical life of up to 30 million cycles. The switch is designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration, making it suitable for demanding applications. This model supports dual-current operation, functioning effectively in both low-current (1 mA minimum) and medium-current (up to 5 A maximum) circuits, although it should only be used for one type of circuit during its operational life. The switch operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 ¬8C to +125 ¬8C and is approved for use up to +150 ¬8C in specific adaptations. The switch offers various connection options, including solder and quick-connect terminals, and is compatible with a wide range of actuators. It has a degree of protection rated at IP40 and features reinforced insulation for enhanced safety. The materials used include PBT GF for the case and silver alloy for the contacts, ensuring durability and reliability in various environments.
