The 5A 250V Micro Reset Switch is a specialized electronic component engineered for high-voltage power management and safety interlock applications. Boasting a robust 31.50mm x 8.40mm housing, this switch is designed to handle demanding electrical loads up to 5 Amperes at 250VAC. Its distinctive red plunger provides a high-visibility interface for manual resets or mechanical actuation within complex equipment assemblies.
High Power Rating: Optimized to safely manage up to 5A 250VAC, making it ideal for primary power control in small appliances and industrial tools.
Precision Reset Mechanism: Features a responsive red plunger designed for precise "reset" or "normally closed" operations.
Compact Slim Profile: The 31.5mm x 8.4mm footprint allows for easy integration into narrow chassis or slimline device enclosures.
Durable Composite Housing: Engineered with high-strength black phenolic or plastic material to provide excellent electrical insulation and heat resistance.
Reliable Solder Terminals: Features two sturdy vertical metal pins for secure through-hole PCB mounting or direct wire soldering.
This 5A Reset Micro Switch is a critical component in:
Appliance Safety: Functioning as an interlock switch for microwave doors, blenders, or coffee makers.
Power Tool Protection: Used as a thermal reset or safety cutout switch for high-draw electric motors.
Industrial Automation: Ideal for limit-sensing or manual system resets in control panels and assembly line hardware.
Computer & Server Hardware: Serving as a chassis intrusion sensor or primary power reset button.
Dimensions: 31.50mm (Length) x 8.40mm (Width).
Electrical Rating: 5A 250VAC.
Actuator Type: Red Plunger Button.
Mounting Type: 2-Pin Solder Terminals.
Is this switch normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)?
While specific wiring varies, switches in this category are commonly used in normally closed configurations for safety resets, where the circuit is broken only when the red button is depressed.
Can it replace a lower-rated switch?
Yes, this 5A rated switch can safely replace switches with a lower amperage rating (such as 1A or 3A) as long as the physical dimensions and voltage ratings match.
How much pressure is required to actuate the button?
This model is designed for a firm, mechanical feel to prevent accidental resets, ensuring the device remains in the desired state until intentional force is applied.
