Application
Renew’s miniature basic switches are widely used in industrial equipment and facilities or consumer and commercial devices such as office equipment and home appliances for position detection, open and closed detection, automatic control, safety protection, etc. Here are some popular or potential application.
Home Appliances
Widely used in various kinds of home appliances to detect their door status. For example, switch in door interlock of washing machine that disconnects power if door opened.
Automobiles
Switch detects the state of the brake pedal, ensuring the brake lights illuminate when the pedal is pressed and signaling the control system.
Sensors and monitoring devices
Often used in industrial-grade sensors and monitoring devices to control pressure and flow by serving as a snap-action mechanism within the devices.
