Switch Descriptions

 

Miniature, Small, Miniscule; Part Number 3001
The 3001 is great for  locations where space is a premium concern. 
The body is .22 in. and the diameter .14 in. Operates as a simple tilt switch 
carrying 0.20 amp max. differential angle 2 degree max. Body .218 length, 0.168 dia.

Series 3004
Low Cost Tilt Switch/Motion Sensor
Will detect tilt in one axis only. The transitional angle, or dead band, is
less than 7 degrees. It can also be used to detect motion or vibration when
the switch is mounted such that its main axis is near to the horizontal. 
Refer to Figure T-5

Series 3005S
No Mercury Tilt Switch
A switch similar to the series 3004, above, but uses a solid metal ball
rather than a liquid metal contact. Special metallurgical processing and 
near perfect inert gas hermaticity eliminates many of the reliability 
problems normally associated with non mercury tilt switches. Contact chatter
is more pronounced than in the mercury version.
Refer to Figure T-6 

Series 2008-4
Motion Vibration Sensing Switch Equally Sensitive In All Positions.
This is a uniquely designed switch that displays normally open contacts
when it is at rest in any position. When the switch is disturbed, the
contacts will momentarily close one or more times. The contacts will return
to their normally open position when the switch returns to its rest position.
See Figure T-3

Series 5008pc
Smallest Motion Sensing Switch
This tiny welded steel switch measures only 0.19 inches long and is 0.18 in.
in diameter. Because of the very small amount of mercury used, this switch
actually detects the vibration associated with the motion rather than the 
motion itself.


Series 3006
Wide Dead Band Switch Minimizes Contact Chatter
A tough power switch has built in 25 degree minimum deadband built into its
contact operation. Not only does this minimize contact bounce but it 
prevents unwanted repeated operations. The switch requires a motion
of at least 25 degrees in order to reset. this is not a signal level switch.
Its oversize contacts will reliably switch 5 amperes at 120 VAC.

Series 2009H
12 Pole Single Throw TO5 Size Switch. Detects Angular Rotation.
This switch is intended to be mounted with its main axis in the horizontal
plane. The switch will detect rotation around its own axis. Using the steel
cover as a common contact, the switch will transfer contacts with every 30
degrees of rotation. 12 electrically isolated contacts are provided. When
mounted with its contact pins in the vertical plane this switch is very
sensitive to shock and vibration.
See Figure T-4 

Series 2009V
12 Pole Single Throw Switch Detects Tilt.
This welded steel package has a detent built into it that holds the ball of
mercury captive. When the switch is mounted with the pins in the vertical
axis. Tilt the switch 15 degrees from the vertical in any direction and the
mercury mass will escape from the detent. The mercury will not only make 
electrical contact when tilted but it will tell you the direction you
have tilted.
See Figure T-8

Series 2009x4
12 Pole TO5 Switch
This switch is similar to the series 2009H described earlier. 12 electrically
isolated contacts are provided. When mounted horizontally 4 or 5 pins are always
electrically connected, can be used to show position of rotation. Contacts will
open and close every 30 - 35 degrees.
See Figure T-4
