This SPDT (single pole double throw) microswitch from Honeywell is a contact sensor used for object detection in a range of commercial and industrial applications. It consists of a roller lever actuator with normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts that convert the mechanical energy from the lever into an electrical signal. This component has a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +125°C, so you can use it in a variety of harsh environmental conditions.

• Silver cadmium contacts for high conductivity and a reliable connection
• Snap-action operation means it reacts quickly to any detected movement for fast response times
• Maximum voltage of 250V AC (alternating current) for use in low-voltage applications
• Long mechanical service life of one million cycles for reliable, long-lasting performance

• Ice makers
• Power washers
• Vending machines

A single pole double throw (SPDT) configuration like the one in this switch allows you to control two outputs with a single input in one circuit. A double pole double throw (DPDT) configuration allows you to control two circuits at the same time.
