At least 25% smaller than our Miniature Snap-Acting Switches, these switches are often used to trigger actions from inside a vehicle’s door or an engine compartment. They open and close circuits faster than other switches, preventing contacts from sticking by reducing the time that they're near one another. They also minimize the chance of arcing, so electricity won’t jump across contacts.

Plunger actuator switches send a signal when the actuator is pushed directly downward. They have the smallest actuator of the actuators here, reducing the risk of accidental switching.

Lever actuator switches have a larger surface area than plunger actuator switches and can be pushed down by front-to-back movement, so they require less precision to activate.

Roller lever actuator switches allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.

Simulated roller lever actuator switches have a curved arm that can be pressed down for actuation by forward, backward, and repeated back-and-forth movement.

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.

Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.

Smaller than standard snap-acting switches, these switches trigger actions in tight spaces. They’re used in components as small as computer mice and engine restart switches. They open and close circuits faster than other switches, preventing contacts from sticking by reducing the time that they're near one another. These switches also minimize the chance of arcing, so electricity won’t jump across contacts.

Switches with a plunger actuator send a signal when the actuator is pushed directly downward. They have the smallest actuator of the actuators here, reducing the risk of accidental switching.

Trigger actions in devices as small as phones and drones. The smallest snap-acting switches we offer, these switches fit into the tiniest of spaces and help keep weight to a minimum. Because snap-acting switches open and close circuits faster than other switches—reducing the time that contacts are near one another—they prevent contacts from sticking. They also minimize the chance of arcing, so electricity won’t jump across contacts.

Plunger actuator switches send a signal when the actuator is pushed directly downward. They have a small footprint, reducing the risk of accidental switching.

Lever actuator switches have a larger surface area than plunger actuator switches and can be pushed down by front-to-back movement, so they require less precision to activate.

Simulated roller lever actuator switches have a curved arm that can be pressed down for actuation by forward, backward, and repeated back-and-forth movement.

Smaller than relays with electrical wiring, these relays fit in compact devices. Mount them through holes on circuit boards with their solder pin terminals. Use them to control heaters, fans, and other high-power components from a low-power circuit.

Solid state relays have no moving parts, so they require less maintenance and last longer, switch faster, and are quieter than mechanical relays.
