Micro-switches are often found in arcade buttons and joysticks but they're also really handy in any kind of mechatronics project or when you need a basic sensor. They are always 'tactile' (clicky feeling), and 'momentary' (the switch closes when pressed, then snaps open once released). They come in a few different varieties (mostly having to do with the contacts and how big the actuator is). This microswitch has a small bump actuator, but we also have kinds with a lever, roller lever and long wire. Compared to the other 'generic' micro-switches we carry, this one is higher quality and has better specifications. This is a basic micro switch for arcade and mini robots, and we don't have any detailed specifications for it so this switch is recommended for use with 30VDC and 250mA max. A great replacement for arcade controls.Technical details * Zippy Model #VM-05S-00D0-Z * Activation Force: Approx 200g (firm click) * Operating Frequency (mechanical): 120 operations/min * Operating Frequency (electrical): 5A-10~30 operations/min * Contact Resistance (initial): 100m Ω (Max.) * Insulation Resistance (at 500VDC): 100M Ω (Min.) * Dielectric Strength (50-60Hz): 1000VAC RMS * Storage Temperature: -25°C to 85°C * Storage Humidity: At 40°C,Max. 85% RH (Max.) * Service Life (mechanical): Min. 10,000,000 operations * Service Life (electrical): 5A - Min. 10,000 operations * Terminals are 0.187" wide https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2023-03-06 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2023-12-27 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2024-09-19 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2024-11-29 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2024-11-30 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2025-11-28 https://elecena.pl/product/22713740/micro-switch-premium-zippy-3-terminal 2025-11-29
