CTS Electronic Components 230MA-C Micro Switches
CTS Electronic Components 230MA, 230MB, and 230MC Micro Switches are widely used wherever human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are required. These CTS micro switches feature a coil-spring design and a long mechanical life (1 million mechanical cycles and up to 200,000 electrical cycles). The excellent waterproof protection (IP40 or IP67) makes 230MA-C switches ideal for special ambient applications, while the sensitive snap-action switching is ideal for quick-response applications. The broad range of applications includes automotive door latches, air conditioners, humidifiers, alarms, water pumps, joysticks, food processors, security devices, and more.
