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

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.

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.

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

Price Is good. They work but make a very audible click sound. Its also takes a lot of pressure for a micro switch to actuate. Not a Problem for my Use. But could be for others. If you are used to usa made units. ... Omicron etc these take 10 times the force to actuate. And it 'clicks". So if that matters then dont buy it. I cant dpeak about life. Its new and im passing a lovolt signal only

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.
