Micro switches, also known as snap-action switches, are small but powerful devices widely used in various applications, including appliances, machinery, and electronic devices. They are designed to provide reliable and precise switching actions with minimal physical movement. In this article, we will explore how to make a micro switch, its components, working principles, applications, and tips for effective use.
Micro switches operate on the principle of mechanical action and electrical conductivity. When an external force is applied to the actuator of the switch, it causes a mechanical movement that toggles the switch's state from open to closed or vice versa. This mechanism ensures that even a small amount of force can trigger a significant electrical response.
