A micro limit switch, also known as a micro switch, is a small, electromechanical switch that detects the presence or absence of an object and triggers a change in an electrical circuit.

It’s a snap-action switch, meaning the contacts inside change state quickly when a small force is applied. They are widely used in various applications, including appliances, industrial machinery, and automotive systems.

Micro Switch : Construction, Circuit, Working, Types & Its ...

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Key Features:

Small Size:

Micro limit switches are compact, allowing them to be used in tight spaces.
Snap-Action:

They have a mechanism that provides a quick and decisive change in the electrical circuit when actuated, ensuring reliable switching.
Sensitivity:

They require a small amount of force to activate, making them suitable for applications where a gentle touch or movement is involved.
Multi-Terminal:

They typically have three terminals: a common (C), a normally open (NO), and a normally closed (NC) terminal, allowing for various circuit configurations.
Actuation:

They can be actuated by a variety of methods, including plungers, levers, and rollers.

How it Works:

1. Actuation:

An object or machine part makes contact with the switch’s actuator (e.g., a plunger, lever, or roller).
2. Contact Change:

This action moves the internal contacts within the switch, changing the state of the circuit.
3. Circuit Control:

The change in the electrical circuit can then be used to control other devices, such as motors, lights, or relays.

Common Applications:

Industrial Automation: Controlling machinery, finding home positions, and limiting travel.
Home Appliances: In washing machines, microwaves, and other appliances, for door open/close detection, or to control power to various components.
Automotive Systems: In gear shifters, door locks, and other systems to detect position or movement.
Robotics: Used as actuators to provide motion or detect contact with objects.
Consumer Electronics: In devices like game controllers, computer mice, and other products with buttons or triggers.

In essence, micro limit switches are versatile, reliable, and compact devices that play a crucial role in controlling and automating various systems by detecting the presence, absence, or position of objects and triggering corresponding actions in electrical circuits.
