How is a micro switch built?

Micro switches can vary in size and number of connections, because they must fully adapt to their entire environment.

A micro switch manufacturer is dedicated to the creation of various pieces so that they are able to be easily integrated into all the spaces where they are intended to be, it is for this reason that we can see that there are so many different micro switches.

It is the responsibility of the micro switch manufacturer to create the ideal conditions for each of the switches that its customers have requested and it must also be precise, since the function of the micro switch with respect to all the components with which it interacts, passes very quickly. That is, the action of this element is of immediate reaction, so it must be perfectly calibrated.

There are various types of micho switch, but basically they all have a base structure that is quite simple.

There are a large number of micro switches available in the market, through which various operations can be carried out depending on what each client needs, but they all have basically the same initial structure, they can vary in phases or contacts, since some require more tasks to be placed on them, and some simply want them to let the power pass and be cut off, as is the case with a light switch.

This is the basic structure that a micro swicth possesses.

First of all it is necessary to know that a micro swicth has a rectangular shape, and internally it has a pair of springs, which serve as current conductors. There is a spring that is in a flat state, which is attached to one of the ends of micro swicth, while there is another curved spring, which has been compressed since its manufacture, this with the intention of lengthening when it needs to make contact with other points.

At the top of a micro swicth is an actuator, which serves as a lever, which presses the internal pressure points on the object, thus giving it the order to activate or stop the process that is being carried out in that moment.

These points that are pressed according to the main order that the actuator unleashes, are the different phases that the micro swicth can control, which will determine its main tasks, and which will ensure that the small element fulfills its tasks.

These phases vary in number, since, as we said previously, the micro swicth have different characteristics depending on the tasks they are going to fulfill, they can be simple or they can be related to more than one or two reaction options.

The movement that is made by the actuator is really small, barely and can be perceived, however, these micro swicth are capable of handling a large amount of energy, acting as a bridge or as an insulator, and this load is not related in intensity with the tiny movement of the actuator, they are not proportional.
