Short Straight Lever Micro Switch

The 16.7mm Short Straight Lever Micro Switch is a compact, high-performance electromechanical component designed for a wide range of switching applications, from automated systems and industrial machinery to consumer electronics. Featuring a short straight lever actuator, this micro switch offers a responsive and tactile switching action, providing reliable performance in systems where space is limited, but precise, dependable control is required. The 16.7mm lever ensures that the switch is actuated with minimal mechanical movement, making it ideal for high-frequency switching and applications requiring accurate feedback.

Micro switches, also known as snap-action switches, are designed to change the state of their electrical contacts with a rapid, precise action when the actuator is triggered. The short straight lever is often favored in designs where the actuator needs to engage directly with a mechanical component or part that moves within a short distance. This makes the 16.7mm short straight lever micro switch ideal for position sensing, limit switching, and safety interlocks, among other applications. It is particularly well-suited for small control devices and compact mechanical assemblies where reliable and fast switching is critical.

In this article, we will explore the key features, technical specifications, and common applications of the 16.7mm Short Straight Lever Micro Switch, highlighting how its compact size, robust design, and dependable performance make it a versatile solution for a variety of industries.
