Lever Switch Introduction

What is a "Lever Switch"?

This is a mechanical switch that uses the lever principle, controlling the circuit connection state by manually moving or toggling a long lever.

• Working Principle: The lever arm detects the movement or position of an external object. When an external force contacts and pushes the lever, it triggers a precise and sensitive internal "snap-action" mechanism, instantly switching the circuit on or off.

• Characteristics:

o Momentary Action: The switch returns to its original state as soon as the lever leaves the contacting object.

o High Amplification: The lever design amplifies minute movements.

o High Consumption: Due to the contactless or extremely low-force sensing, it typically has high mechanical consumption.

• Common Applications:

o Applied Products: Mixers, audio/video equipment.
