With the SPVQ4H series, Alps Electric Europe offers waterproof detector switches for automotive, industrial and home applications. The actuator-type switches are remarkable for their high contact reliability at micro-current range and a long operating life of 300,000 switching cycles.
They have compact dimensions of 19.0mm x 5.4mm x 9.4 mm (W x D x H). Together with the actuator they provide a height of 18mm. The necessary operating force accounts for 3N. Depending on the version, the detector switches are available with two or three solder connecting wires as single-pole/double-throw or single-pole/single-throw N/O or N/C switches.
