Microswitches may encounter some common problems during use, which often stem from a lack of understanding of the basic knowledge and working principle of microswitches. Next, we'll delve into these common problems and their possible solutions.
Microswitch use common problems - driving
First of all, the microswitch may have poor contact. This can be caused by dust adhering to the copper sheet or switch contact points. In order to solve this problem, you can consider using a better sealed electrical switch to prevent the entry of dust. On the other hand, the harsh natural environment can also lead to poor switch contact, as malignant gases may damage the surface of the joint, forming a covering film with insulating properties. In this case, it is recommended to choose a switch made of contact raw materials (such as gold, silver, etc.) that can adapt to changes in the natural environment.
Secondly, sometimes even if the micro switch is pressed, the load cannot be turned on. This problem can be caused by a variety of reasons, including poor contact, contact dissolution, internal structural torsion spring damage, different operating speeds, operating process frequency, and the attachment of waste or dust. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to carefully inspect the switch, find out the specific cause and repair or replace it accordingly.
Finally, the insulation layer of the microswitch may age or ablate. This is mainly due to the large load volume resulting in electrical isolation, the contact floating around. To avoid this, the load volume can be reduced by using the switching load of automotive relays and AC contactors. In addition, high ambient humidity can also lead to aging ablation of the insulation layer, as it causes a significant change in nearby temperature, water droplets penetrate and lead to increased carbonization of the insulation layer. When using microswitches in wet and cold natural environments, try to avoid their long-term existence or use sealed switches to prevent moisture infiltration
