Bump Switch - SPST Snap Action with Lever 6A @ 250VAC - Micro Switch (limit switch)

Bump Switch - SPST Snap Action with Lever 6A @ 250VAC - Micro Switch (Limit Switch)

The Bump Switch is an SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) snap action micro switch. It incorporates an extended lever for obstacle and collision detection. This component functions as a limit switch or bump sensor. Upon lever actuation, the internal switch closes, indicating a contact event. The switch is rated for 6A at 250VAC. It is designed for integration with microcontrollers and external circuits. This device provides physical contact sensing for automated systems and robotic applications.
