    Open and close circuits in a snap. These switches actuate quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. They’re often used to indicate that an appliance or enclosure door is open. You can also use them inside limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
    Plunger Actuator Style—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.
    Lever Actuator Style—Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that extends to give them a larger actuation area than switches with a plunger actuator.
    Wobble Stick Actuator Style—Switches with a wobble stick actuator have a flexible arm that can actuate from any direction.
    Roller Lever Actuator Style—Switches with a roller lever actuator combine the larger actuation area of a standard lever with a smooth gliding roller actuator. They minimize friction to limit wear and tear on your switch.
    Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a roller plunger or cross roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction to limit wear and tear on your switch.
    Cross Roller Plunger Actuator—On cross roller plungers, the roller moves perpendicular to the housing.
    Plastic Covers—Plastic covers (sold separately) are compatible with switches with screw terminals. They fit over the bottom of the switch to prevent contact with live terminals.

    Actuate these switches with a fraction of the force of other subminiature switches for increased responsiveness. They’re a good choice if you need reliable actuation even from a light touch. Among the smallest snap-acting switches we offer, they fit into 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 enclosures or as internal components in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
    Plunger Actuator Style—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
    Lever Actuator Style—Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that increases the size of the actuation surface.
    Roller Lever Actuator Style—Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.
