Micro Switch w/Roller Lever - Three Terminal

Micro switches are incredibly useful components commonly found in arcade buttons and joysticks. They're also a great fit for all sorts of mechatronics projects or when you need a simple sensor. These switches offer a tactile 'clicky' feeling and are momentary, meaning they close when pressed and open right after release. There are different types, mainly varying in contacts and actuator size. This particular micro switch features a flat metal lever actuator with a roller at the end. The roller makes it more effective for angled actuation. It comes with three terminals: common, normally - open, and normally - closed. We also have switches with bump actuators, flat levers, and long wires. This basic micro switch is ideal for arcade machines and mini robots. As we don't have detailed specs, it's recommended for use with a maximum of 30VDC and 250mA.

Using this micro switch is easy. First, identify the three terminals: common, normally - open, and normally - closed. Connect the appropriate wires according to your project's needs. When you press the roller - lever actuator, the switch will close, and once you release it, it'll open back up. This is perfect for making your arcade buttons click or for sensing movements in your mechatronics projects. Remember, this switch is recommended for a maximum of 30VDC and 250mA. Avoid using it with higher voltages or currents to prevent damage. To keep it in good shape, keep it clean and free from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it if needed. If you notice any issues, like the switch not clicking properly or the contacts not working, it might be time to replace it.
