C & K Components has used its TF series of miniature snap-action switches to develop custom switch modules that provide key contact position indication to leading air circuit breaker manufacturers.
C & K's rugged TF series fast switches have higher current ratings, a wide range of actuation options, and a 400,000 cycle life extension at maximum rated current, providing the internal switch module with the performance and support it needs reliability. Protection of terminal equipment. C & K's custom switch modules are used in position switch modules that provide critical information about the contact locations of low-voltage air circuit breakers, which are typically specified for use in switchgear to protect buildings and industrial equipment. C & K's Custom switch modules indicate whether the circuit breaker is connected, tripped due to a failure, or is under test.
C & amp; K product manager Vincent Acampora said: "When the circuit breaker manufacturer contacted us, they encountered some performance and quality issues when using existing switch module designs." "By working closely with the manufacturer's engineering team, we Being able to help them design their new module using our tried-and-tested TF series fast switch, in addition to its high current and a range of actuation options, it also has a large number of operating functions. Low maintenance cycle. This new module is with us for them The combination of new assembly processes developed, including 100% testing and inspection procedures, effectively solves their product performance problems. "
TF series miniature snap-action switches have a wide range of operating forces (15-400g), high electrical capacity Fixed value (10A), five actuator options (pin plunger, lever, lever roller, analog roller and analog lever), six terminal options (two quick connections, two offset quick connections, screws and Welding) and three circuit options: single pull double throw (SPDT); single pull single throw, normally closed (SPST NC); single direction single throw, normally open (S PST NO). TF series switches also have 400,000 life cycles at 10A and are rated for use in an operating temperature range of -40C to 85C.
Other applications of the TF series miniature push switches include: HVAC equipment, automotive applications (such as door latches), pumps and level control in industrial systems, thermostatic control, portable power tools and 3D printers.
