Micro Switch 3 Pin Lever Type Snap Action Pack of 2 V15-187-01 Auspicious

The Auspicious V15-187-01 is a 3 pin lever type micro switch from the V15 series, supplied as a pack of two. It is the small snap action switch found inside appliances, control assemblies and machine sub assemblies, where a light touch on the lever has to make or break a circuit cleanly and repeatedly.

Snap action is what the design is built around. The internal mechanism holds tension until the lever reaches its trip point, then flips the contacts over in a single fast movement. There is no slow drag across the contacts, which is what causes arcing and burning in ordinary switches. That is why a micro switch of this type lasts one million mechanical operations and one hundred thousand operations at full electrical load.

Three pins give you a common, a normally open and a normally closed terminal, so the same switch can either make or break a circuit depending on which two pins you wire. The short lever reduces the force needed to operate it compared with a plain plunger. Rated 10A at 250V AC with a 2500V impulse withstand and glow wire level 3, it is built to be mounted inside appliances rather than on a panel face. TUV and CE approvals cover it for equipment manufacturers.

Key Features

• Snap action mechanism trips fast and resists contact arcing

• Three pin arrangement gives both NO and NC from one switch

• Short lever lowers the operating force needed

• 10A 250VAC rating for direct appliance and control switching

• One million operations mechanical life and 100,000 at full load

• 2500V rated impulse withstand voltage

• Glow wire test level 3 for appliance safety compliance

• TUV and CE certified, supplied as a pack of 2

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

Door and lid interlocks inside appliances, vending and dispensing mechanisms, printer and copier paper path detection, coin and token acceptors, small actuator end stops, safety interlocks on covers and panels, test jigs and fixtures, and any built in position sensing where a full size limit switch would not fit.

Where This Fits in the Range

This is an internal component switch, not a panel mounted device. If you need a sealed switch that mounts on a machine frame and takes a knock from a cam or carriage, the limit switch range covers lever, roller, rod, spring and wheel actuators with IP55 to IP67 bodies.

For other actuator styles in this same V15 series, see the V micro switches collection. If the switching needs to happen without physical contact at all, the proximity and photo sensors range is the alternative. Panel mounted control operators sit in push buttons and indicators.

FAQ,s

What is a micro switch?

It is a small switch with a snap action mechanism inside. A tiny movement of the lever or plunger makes the contacts flip over quickly, which gives a precise and repeatable trip point with very little travel.

Why is snap action important?

Because the contacts move fast and fully. A slow changeover lets current arc across the gap, which burns the contacts. Snap action keeps that to a minimum, which is why these switches last so many cycles.

What are the three pins for?

Common, normally open and normally closed. Wire the common with the NO pin to close a circuit when the lever is pressed, or with the NC pin to break one.

How long does it last?

One million mechanical operations minimum, and one hundred thousand operations at full electrical load.

Is this a panel mount switch?

No. It is designed to be built in to an appliance or assembly. For panel and machine frame mounting, choose a sealed limit switch instead.

How many are in a pack?

Each order is a pack of 2 switches.
