Mechanical Limit Switch End Stop Module

Mechanical End Stop Switch

Reliable and Versatile

This mechanical end stop switch is a simple yet effective device for detecting the end of a mechanical movement or process. It features a lever-activated switch that sends a clear signal when activated.

Key Features:

• Lever-Activated Switch: Easy to trigger and reliable in operation
• LED Indicator: Visually confirms switch activation
• Standard Connector: Uses a 4-pin, 100" pitch header for easy integration
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand mechanical stress and harsh environments
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for various industrial and DIY projects

How it Works:

When the lever is pushed or pulled, the switch is activated, pulling the signal to a low state. This change in signal can be easily detected by your microcontroller or other control system. The onboard LED provides a visual indication of switch activation.

Specifications:

• Cable Type: 22 AWG
• Working Voltage/Current: 300V / 2A
• Temperature Resistance: 80 degrees Celsius
• Cable Length: Approximately 70 cm
• Connector: 4-pin, 100" pitch header

Applications:

• Industrial Automation: Limit switches, end-of-travel detection, and more
• DIY Projects: Robotics, machinery control, and other applications
• Manufacturing: Quality control, assembly lines, and production processes

DATA SHEET AND USECASE
