Learn the Difference Between Toggle Switches and Micro Switches

The difference between a toggle switch and a micro switch is:

(1) Different structure

Compared with opening, the closed contact distance of the micro switch is small, the action stroke is short, the torque is large, the force is small, and the disconnection is fast.

(2) Different categories

Toggle switches are usually divided into small current toggle switches and high current toggle switches. There are many types of microswitches. The general basic type is an unassisted pressing attachment, and a small stroke type and a large stroke type are derived.

(3) The scope of use is different

Toggle switches are widely used in various instruments, meters, electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical equipment, beauty equipment and other electronic products. toggle switch supply

Micro switches are mainly used in equipment that requires frequent circuit switching for automatic control and safety protection. They are mainly used in electronic equipment, mining, power systems, household appliances, and military fields such as aerospace, ships, missiles, and tanks.

(4) Different performance characteristics

The toggle switch is a new generation of photoelectric switch devices manufactured by integrated circuit technology and smt surface device technology. It has intelligent functions such as delay, expansion, external synchronization, strong anti-interference, high reliability, stable working area, and self-diagnosis. The micro switch contacts have a small interval and a snap action mechanism. The contact mechanism that makes on/off with the specified stroke and force is covered by the housing, and there is an actuator outside the micro switch, and the appearance is small.

Due to its advantages of small size, multiple gears, and good uniformity of pulling force, it is widely used in many fields such as household appliances. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the replacement of these household appliances is getting faster and faster, and their demand will also increase. This is also the biggest potential direction we are optimistic about its development prospects.
