Microswitches from ZF have a long tradition and the product range has been constantly extended and adapted to the market requirements. The new sub-subminiature switch series “WG” is a two-pole sliding contact switch with extremely low dimensions whose switching concept is based on the market proven SK/SJ switch series from ZF.
Due to a double redundant contact system, the “WG” switch has a high contact stability and is especially suitable for low switching loads. It comes with many connection possibilities and also lead versions are available on request. Therefore, it allows an easy installation and can be used for household (e.g. washing machines, vacuum cleaners), automotive (latches) and industrial applications (e.g. robots, industrial equipment).
The standard version is IP67 protected and allows an operating temperature of up to +85 °C. With regards to the actuator, different options are available either without auxiliary actuators or for example with a simulated roller auxiliary actuator.
The “WG” switch series is part of the ZF switch product range which includes other snap action switches like miniature and subminiature switches but also rocker and pushbutton switches. With its switch portfolio, ZF is one of the leading suppliers of components in applications such as household appliances, white goods, power tools, industrial and automotive applications.
