Honeywell Micro Switch Basic Snap-Action Switches—Snap-action switches work like limit switches except that they utilize a pin or plunger actuator rather than a lever. Basic snap-action switches are typically used in simple on/off, presence/absence, or end-of-limit applications. See Article - "Basic Switches are Not Created Equal". 

Watch this snap-action switch video by Dr. Larry. In this video he explains how the basic snap-action switch mechanism works and what to look for when choosing a snap-action switch for your design.
