SNAP ACTION SWITCHES
Snap action switches, also called micro switches, are devices that can open and/or close an electrical circuit at a rapid speed. They are triggered by an external force, either human or physical object, which is applied to the actuator, requiring very little pressure to operate.
They are characterized by their quick and decisive switching action, often producing a sharp “snap” sound when the contacts move from one position to another.
