Product Description (Detailed):
Ensure robust and reliable positional sensing in your industrial or hobbyist applications with our Limit Switch Module 16A 250V (Push Type). This high-capacity, electromechanical switch is engineered for demanding environments, providing precise feedback on mechanical movement. Rated for a significant 16 Amperes at 250 Volts AC, it can directly control higher power loads, reducing the need for intermediate relays in many circuits. As a push-type limit switch, its robust plunger actuator is designed for direct physical contact, making it ideal for detecting the presence, absence, or end-of-travel of objects in machinery, gates, or automated systems. The module typically features SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contacts, offering both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) configurations, allowing flexible integration into diverse control logic. Its durable construction ensures a long mechanical and electrical lifespan, vital for repetitive operations in automation systems, CNC machines, safety interlocks, and door/gate position sensing. Whether you're building an industrial control panel or a custom automated setup, this heavy-duty limit switch provides the accurate and high-current switching capability required for dependable performance.
The 16A 250V Push-Type Limit Switch is a heavy-duty micro switch designed for precise control and position detection in industrial and automation environments. This switch operates when its spring-loaded actuator is physically pressed, instantly toggling the internal contacts.
It is commonly used in 3D printers, CNC machines, elevators, conveyors, and DIY robotics to detect limits, trigger safety mechanisms, or initiate automation sequences.
Its robust housing and large contact rating (16A) make it suitable for both signal-level and power-level switching, allowing it to control motors, relays, or logic circuits depending on the application.
