Products for USB Sensing and Control
This small single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) limit switch is ideal for keeping track of physical parts in a system. It can also be used as a simple user input button as it makes a noticable click when pressed. It can switch 5A and 125V DC or 250V AC.
The wheel on the end of the lever allows the switch to be triggered by objects brushing up against the switch in either direction.
