MICROSWITCHES MP210 - Microprecision Electronics - #1

The microswitches MP210 & derivatives are snap-action changeovers, simple or double switching action, connection by directly overmoulded cable. By wiring the 5 terminals in different combinations, you can obtain electrical circuits to 3, 4 or 5 wires.

CHANGEOVER Designation: MP210-0/3..

The fixed contact terminals are wired in parallel when the cable is connected. The two closed contacts (12) and (22), on the one hand, and the two open contacts (14) and (24), on the other, form a changeover with terminal (1) in common. this arrangement of parallel contacts doubles the reliability of the switch

OFF-ON CIRCUIT Designation: MP210-0/4..

Here, the common terminal is not wired producing two separate circuits with no common terminal. The strip merely switches between the fixed contacts. This variant is recommended for heavy loads because of the simultaneous opening of a double contact gap.

GENERAL CIRCUIT Designation: MP210-0/5..

In this version, the overmoulded cable is wired to all of the connecting terminals thus allowing for all pos­sibilities which makes it particularly suitable for prototype development and testing purposes. However, the cable is more rigid and the diameter approaching 9.0mm.
