Product Spolight: Subminiature Snap-Action Switch

May 6, 2009
The V5 (V5S) sealed snapaction switch incorporates long overtravel, subminiature size, and customized mounting options in an IP67 fully sealed package.

The V5 (V5S) sealed snapaction switch incorporates long over travel, subminiature size, and customized mounting options in an IP67 fully sealed package. The V5S single- break, changeover switch features 2 mm of plunger overtravel (typically 1.2 mm), offering designers expanded tolerance flexibility and simplified subassembly design integration. The switch can actuate in multidirectional angles up to 45°, eliminating the need for extra levers or arms and reducing costs and overall footprint.

Key to the unit’s compact design (14.7 × 5.4 × 7.5 mm) is the packaging of all SMT components inside the switch housing. Other features include 1-mA to 2-A (5 to 14-V) current ratings, operating temperature of –40 to +194°F, and a 1 million cycle mechanical rating.
