The VM3 Snap-Action switch is UL and TÜV approved and has an actuation force from 80gF up to 180gF. The switch has momentary and latching options, its base and cover are made of UL94-V0 polybutylene terephthalate with a PBT pin plunger, UL94-V0 contacts silver alloy contacts and copper alloy, silver plated terminals.
The CIT SM3 Micro Series is UL/cUL approved and provides numerous lever, terminal and actuation force options but runs from 80gF up to 350gF standard. Actuator styles of this microswitch comprise pin plunger, simulated roller, short roller lever, long hinge lever and the standard hinge lever. The series provides terminal options of 0.1" quick-connect, solder lug, PC pin, right angle PC pin or left angle PC pin. Single pole switching options incorporate SPST normally open, SPST normally closed, or SPDT.
