As the electrical devices are becoming smaller and the efficiency of usage is increasing as well, the need for more efficient switches is in demand. This is the reason why microswitches are the most demanded. Popularly known as snap action switches, these are one of the most popular miniature switches that are used in the appliances and various modern technology devices. These switches are called micro switches because first, they are small, and second, they only require small force to be actuated.
These are small snap-action switches which can be switched on or off using the small act of force. These switches are made of metal strip which is stiff in make and has a spring attached to it. When the force is applied on the switch button, the strip flips. Now, as soon as the force starts receding away, the switch flips back. A typical switch will be of the dimension 3mm x 3mm x 9mm. Flipping of the switch makes light clicking noise.
