Large Lever Switch
The Large Lever Switch provides users with a sizable contact area and a low force activation.
Device Information
Overview
This lever switch is based upon the discontinued Mounting Switch previously produced by Don Johnston Developmental Equipment, Inc. It utilizes a microswitch connected to a 3.5 mono plug. The basic configuration includes a base housing (for the switch, cable run, and mounting hardware) and an activation arm. The switch is activated by depressing the extended arm on the device.
How To Use
Mounting can be done using a thumbscrew with a ¼” rod (vertical or horizontal) or using the optional T-nut base.
• If mounting to a rod, a thumbscrew is needed to tighten the switch to the rod and an M3 screw is needed to hold the bottom of the compression spring inside the housing.
• If mounting to a ¼”-20 mount, the thumbscrew and M3 are omitted. A T-nut is inserted into the base, which snaps onto the bottom of the housing.
