C&K Switches ZMV Miniature Snap-Action Switches

C&K Switches ZMV Miniature Snap-Action Switches feature a special pin plunger allowing actuation in more than one direction. The ZMV low to high power snap-acting switches combine a space-saving design and high reliability in a compact 13.3mm x 7mm x 5.3mm package. The switches feature a long stroke and robust actuation force that allows for applications to ensure reliability for when the switch is actuated. This solid force actuation has an audible click sound that provides feedback for actuating, and can also be helpful for troubleshooting if there is an issue with the switch.  The ZMV components are available in either standalone or wire harness solutions with IP67 protection and either silver or gold contacts. Switch option flexibility allows for a wide range of uses across various industries including automotive handles, HVAC, IoT, and medical applications.

Features

  • Compact size for limited-space applications
  • Adequate stroke setting for reliable and precision ON or OFF switching
  • Internal spring design return ensures the actuator is restored to the same position every time
  • High contact reliability to support low range switching loads
  • Consistent operation over a long life
  • Ideally suited for signal/power uses in automotive and industrial applications
  • Available in pin plunger (can be actuated from an angle), lever, and wire harness versions for easy integration
  • IP67 for standalone switch except for the metal terminal part, full IP67 protection when potted with wire version
  • RoHS compliant and UL/ENEC approved
