Micro\u00a0switches are a type of micro-mechanical switch that comes in many types, and their internal structure is also variable. Micro\u00a0switches are now widely used in various fields and have become one of the most important electronic components. Today, we will mainly talk about\u00a0the differences between momentary\u00a0micro\u00a0switches and maintained\u00a0micro\u00a0switches.<\/p>\n

What is a momentary\u00a0micro\u00a0switch?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

Relatively speaking, most micro switches used on the market are momentary types. Their\u00a0structures mainly include a cover, plunger, lever, moving\u00a0piece, support,\u00a0contact, terminal, case, reed, and operating\u00a0arm. The micro switch is small in volume and light in weight, and its working principle is also very simple.<\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

In a stationary state, the starting positions of the contacts of the moving piece\u00a0linkage are all stopped at the normally closed (NC) terminal. When an external force is applied to the button or operating\u00a0arm, the moving piece\u00a0will switch and connect to the normally open (NO) terminal under the action of a lever. This process can achieve the on-off situation of the control circuit. When the external force is removed, the transmission components (buttons, levers, operating arms, etc.) will momentarily complete the reverse action and return to their original position. This is also why most micro\u00a0switches on the market are self-resetting. Next, let\u2019s take a look at the structure and principle of the maintained micro\u00a0switch.<\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

The internal structure and working principle of the maintained\u00a0micro\u00a0switch and the momentary\u00a0micro\u00a0switch are the same, except that a plastic spring pressing button is added above the cover\u00a0of the micro\u00a0switch. This ensures that the button will lock and the circuit will be connected when pressed down. Even after removing the external force, the circuit remains connected. When you want to disconnect the circuit, just press it again.<\/p>\n

Types and models of momentary micro switches<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many types of momentary\u00a0micro switches, which can be classified from aspects such as volume size, current, and protective function. KANGERLE micro\u00a0switch manufacturer also determines\u00a0different models from these aspects.<\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

From the figure, it can be seen that the best distinguishing difference between these series of KANGERLE micro switches is in terms of size. The Z series limit micro switch is the largest in size and can be used as a domestic replacement for Omron brand micro switches. Next is the KW3 series micro switches, which have strong load capacity and high-temperature resistance. The most common applications are air fryers rice cookers power tools , etc. The KW12 series and KW12S series micro switch not only have slight differences in size\u00a0but also have different internal structures. The former is a reed structure, while the latter is a spring structure. For high currents, the stability of the KW12 micro\u00a0switch will be better. They are usually used in household appliances such as water heaters, gas stoves, ice makers, meat grinders, etc. The KW10 series micro switch is the smallest of these ordinary styles, with a relatively small current,\u00a0and is usually used for signal purposes. The KANGERLE KW10 micro\u00a0switch is used in electronic products such as vending machines, cars\u00a0ETC, mice, and express cabinet locks.<\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

KANGERLE manufacturer\u2019s waterproof micro switches currently have several series, including KW1, KW2, KW4, WS1, and WS2. Among them, the KW2 micro switch is the most commonly used and best-selling. It has a small compact structure, strong sealing performance, and can be waterproof and dust-proof to IP67 protection level after wiring.<\/p>\n

\"IS<\/p>\n

The KW2 micro switch not only has multiple operating travels, but also is equipped with various wires, posts, different types of wiring terminals, and operating arms. The product has a global safety certification guarantee, and the quality is stable and reliable. KW2 micro switches are widely used in the automotive industry, such as charging gun electronic locks , gear shifters, car locks, central locking, electric tailgates, etc.<\/p>\n
