Honeywell Switches: Snap-Action Switches

                                            

The first “micro switch” or snap-action switch was invented by Peter McGall in 1932 in Freeport, IL. In 1937, he founded the company MICRO SWITCH, whose name became synonymous with snap-action switches. Later, MICRO SWITCH was purchased by Honeywell, who continues to manufacture snap-action switches and sensor products under the Honeywell Sensing and Control name.

RS Electronics is one of the largest Honeywell Sensing and Control distributors in North America. Our selection of Honeywell switches contains a wide variety of snap-action switches including these popular types:


Honeywell 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.
