Products for USB Sensing and Control
The 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 noticeable click when pressed. The maximum switching ratings can be found in the manufacturer's datasheet which you should be sure to have a look at. The maximum current that can be switched will vary with voltage. This switch belongs to the RV-16 series.
