Snap Action Microswitch Hook Lever 10A (Pack of 2) V1518704 Auspicious

The Auspicious V1518704 is a hook lever micro switch from the V15 187 series, supplied as a pack of 2. The hook shaped lever curves back towards the switch body, so the moving part can catch it on the return stroke as well as the approach. That shape suits mechanisms where a straight lever would be pushed past and missed.

Snap action is what gives it a clean signal. The contacts flip over quickly once the lever passes its trip point, rather than drifting across slowly, which keeps arcing down and the switching point repeatable. The specified mechanical life is a minimum of one million operations, with a minimum of 100,000 operations at full electrical load.

It is built to be mounted inside an appliance or machine housing rather than on a panel face, with screw terminals taking conductors from 1.0 to 2.5mm. Rated 10A at 250V AC with a 2500V impulse withstand rating and glow wire level 3, it carries TUV and CE approval for appliance and equipment builders.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

Appliance door and lid interlocks, vending and dispensing mechanisms, coin and token detection, printer and copier paper path sensing, small machine position detection, safety interlocks inside equipment housings, and OEM assemblies where the switch sits inside the product rather than on a panel.

Related Micro and Limit Switches

Actuator shape decides the model. A hook lever suits a part that may catch on the return stroke. For a straight push onto the switch, or for heavier industrial duty in a sealed body, see the adjustable roller lever mini limit switch AZ-8108 and the adjustable rod limit switch AZ-8107, both 5A IP65 units.

Where the load is larger, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-5108 carries 10A in a metal body, and the roller plunger micro limit switch AM-1308 handles 15A. For angled approach, the cross roller plunger limit switch ME-8122 accepts contact from more than one side.

FAQ,s

What is a hook micro switch used for?

It detects movement where the moving part may need to be caught on the way back as well as the way in. The hooked lever curves towards the body, so it engages from either direction instead of being pushed past.

What does snap action mean?

The contacts flip over quickly once the lever passes its trip point rather than drifting across. That keeps arcing low and makes the switching position repeatable over long cycle counts.

How long does this micro switch last?

The specified minimum is 1,000,000 mechanical operations, and 100,000 operations at full electrical load.

How is it mounted?

It is a built in type, designed to fit inside an appliance or machine housing rather than on a panel face.

What wire size do the terminals take?

Conductors from 1.0 to 2.5mm cross section.

How many switches come in a pack?

Two. The listing is supplied as a pack of 2.
