Snap-Action Switches
Available246 products
Snap-action switches are small electromagnetic devices that react to physical contact to quickly open or close circuits in low-voltage systems and devices that need fast and reliable responses. Also known as miniature snap-action switches, they require minimal compression to activate their contacts and have small constructions that allow them to operate in tight or confined spaces. Micro snap-action switches actuate quickly for applications like safety devices, control panels, appliances, and HVAC equipment.
Hinge Lever Snap-Action Switches
These snap-action switches have hinge-lever arms that pivot around an axis and activate at preset positions. Lever arms extend from the snap-action switch body to provide reach.

Roller-Lever Snap-Action Switches
These snap-action switches have roller-lever arms that pivot around an axis and activate at preset positions. Rollers provide smooth contact with moving objects to reduce friction, absorb force, and minimize wear. Lever arms extend from the snap-action switch body to provide reach and to track different shapes, sizes, or uneven surfaces.

Simulated Roller Lever Snap-Action Switches
These snap-action switches have simulated roller-lever arms that mimic the action of roller levers to make contact with moving objects. They pivot around an axis and activate at preset positions. Lever arms extend from the snap-action switch body to provide reach and to track different shapes, sizes, or uneven surfaces.

Plunger Snap-Action Switches
These snap-action switches have plungers mounted on the top of their body that actuate from vertical force. Plunger actuators have simple mechanical designs that are ideal for on-off and end-of-travel applications.

Roller-Plunger Snap-Action Switches
These snap-action switches have roller plungers that spin when they come in contact with moving objects until they reach a preset destination or end-of-travel point, then push down a spring-loaded actuator that opens or closes its circuit. Plunger actuators have simple mechanical designs that are ideal for on-off and end-of-travel applications.
