6Pcs V-153-1C25 Micro Limit Switch Long Straight Hinge Lever Arm SPDT Snap Action LOT for Arduino (Pack of 6) CYT1068

I had the most commonly found limit switches on my cnc. The little metal arms always fell off. So, when I built my new machine, I wanted better made switches. I the new configuration of the machine necessitated longer arms. I tried arms with rollers, but they didn't quite work out. I bought these. The arms are a lot better made than they look in the photos. To work properly on my controller, I had to wire 2 switches (on the same axis) to work on one plug. I'm using female spades on each end of the wires so I can easily disconnect the switches when needed. I've wired the switches to be normally closed. They work great and are a huge upgrade over most switches.

Used replace safety switch on a heater

Good fit and function

Very good switch on 1st use. I replaced a broken anti-tip microswitch in a small heater. It matched the position of the old switch perfectly. I had to cut the lever to fit its smallish compartment, but they're made long, so there was plenty of arm left for it to function as needed. This switch can be wired for "normally open" (NO) or "normally closed" (NC), depending on your need and which connector you use. The spring is fairly strong, and I was concerned that the weight of the heater wouldn't be enough to keep it in it's "closed", or NC position, but it was perfect, and I like the positive feel and audible click. It's reassuring that it's doing what it needs to do. I didn't want to toss the heater for this minor issue and the price made it cost effective to resurrect it. Perfect solution.

Got tired of replacing a microswitch of a soft water machine whose plastic trigger would erode away from rubbing against a metal cam wheel. Bad design. Replaced with this switch which has better electrical specs and was much cheaper. I fashioned the metal lever to work properly and now I don't expect to ever have to replace it again. See pictures.

These switches are exact replacements for the original, Taito Ice Cold Beer coin op game. Will require a custom bend on the switch arm but screw holes and all other geometry are an exact match.

Likes: Small, lightweight, versatile. It never failed after years of daily use in a low voltage system. Dislikes: None

I bought these to use as limit switches for my hobby CNC machine (Sainsmart Genmitsu 3018 if anyone's interested). I did end up heating the huge switch levers up enough to soften the plastic and pulling them out so my machine directly contacts the buttons for a little more precision, but they work as advertised. It's been a huge QoL upgrade for me being able to home my machine to facilitate repeatability and tool changes across a single job.

work great, bigger and more robust than expected.

I bought this switch to replace a tip over safety switch in a portable heater. It's rated for 15 amps so safe to use in a heater or other high power circuit. Unfortunately, I had to buy 6 of these switches and now I have 5 leftover that I'll probably never use.

Used to replace switches on the float of a distiller.
