Frequently known as a micro switch, a snap-action switch is an electromechanical switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping point mechanism. Snap-action micro switches can open and close an electrical circuit at a rapid speed, triggered by an external force. Offering two sizes, miniature and sub-minature, we will soon have an ultra sub-minature version available, contact factory. Sealed versions are available.
