### Function and Purpose
This component operates as a snap-action limit switch within an electrical control system. It detects mechanical positions or movements and translates these into electrical signals to govern machinery action, safety mechanisms, or system logic.
### Design Details
The unit consists of a compact housing with integrated mounting features. Uses fast-acting internal contacts — break-before-make operation ensures precise switching behavior. Compatible with both AC and DC low-current circuits for versatile application in industrial environments.
Connection terminals are screw-style for secure cable fastening. Actuation via plunger mechanism; linear stroke required to engage the microswitch internally.
### Electrical Specifications
Rated operating voltage range is up to 250V AC / 60V DC (consult datasheet for specifics). Current handling maxes at limited amperage—ratings typical of signal-level applications rather than power loads. Contacts utilize silver alloy material for reduced resistance under repeated cycles but non-suited for high-consequence arcing regions.

**Technical Notes / Limitations:**
- Operating temperature range: approx -25°C to +80°C (referenced from product testing).
- Mechanical lifespan exceeds 10 million actuation cycles under proper usage scenarios only—application outside guidelines reduces longevity.
- Not water-resistant or sealed against dust ingress—store/use in controlled environments per IP20 classification equivalence rating.
- Requires exact alignment during installation; misaligned mounting can result in premature failure due to stress on plunger assembly.
