Mil. Spec. Washdown Snap-Acting Switches
Plunger
Roller Lever
Keep out dirt and moisture—the sealed housing on these switches is watertight and meet MIL-PRF-8805. They’re sized to fit in the tiniest of spaces. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers.
