1.How does the physical size of the switch affect other features.
It is very important to choose a correct size micro switch to match your request. The size of the switch is directly related to its characteristics, including current range, stroke and operating force
2.Understand your electrical requirements
Microswitches are usually capable of breaking currents from 5mA/5VDC to 25A/250VAC. The microswitch product line offers a range of products from low energy to power load electrical for a variety of applications.
3.Consider environmental conditions
Environmental requirements have a strong impact on the selection of microswitches, especially in highly reliable and critical applications such as industrial control and medical equipment. Understand the environmental conditions of the application, including contaminants in the air that may enter the switch, the liquid in which the switch is located, and the operating temperature requirements
4.Define service life requirements
The reliability of the switch is critical. You need to know exactly how many electrical and mechanical operating lives an application needs? Different switches have different contact materials, housings and terminals to meet the electrical and mechanical life requirements of different applications.
5.Check agency certification requirements
Choosing switches that meet various international electrical requirements can help you simplify product design for different regions
