Product Description
Compared with the low-force hinge lever switch, the switch with a wire hinge lever actuator does not need to have such a long lever to achieve a low operating force. Renew’s RZ-15HW52-B3 has the same lever length as the standard hinge lever model, but can achieve an operating force (OP) of 58.8 mN. By lengthening the lever, the OP of Renew’s RZ-15HW78-B3 can be further reduced to 39.2 mN. They are ideal for devices that require delicate operation.
