What is the difference between a toggle switch and a micro switch?

Release Date:2023-02-07

This invention is widely used in various instruments, devices, electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical instruments, beauty devices, and other fields. Input dialing switch supply. Microprocessors are mainly applied in electronic devices, mining, power systems, household appliances, aerospace, ships, missiles, tanks, and other military fields.

The difference between a toggle switch and a micro switch is:
(1) Different structures
Compared to toggle switch, the micro switch has a smaller contact gap when closed, a shorter operating stroke, larger torque, smaller force, and faster disconnection.

(2) Different categories
Toggle switches are usually divided into small current toggles and large current toggles. There are many types of micro switches. The common base type has no auxiliary pressing parts, with derivatives including short-stroke and long-stroke types.
(3) Different uses
This invention is widely used in various instruments, devices, electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical devices, beauty instruments, and other fields. Input dial switches are supplied.
Microprocessors are mainly applied in electronic devices, mining, power systems, home appliances, aerospace, ships, missiles, tanks, and other military fields.
(4) Differences in performance
This utility model adopts integrated circuit technology and surface treatment technology, featuring intelligent functions such as delay, expansion, external synchronization, strong anti-interference, stable working area, and self-diagnosis. The micro switch has a small contact gap and fast movement mechanism. The stroke and actuator-specified contactor are covered by a casing, and the actuator is small.
Due to its small size, multiple gears, and uniform dialing, it is widely used in home appliances and other industries. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the upgrade speed of these home appliance products is accelerating, and demand will continue to grow. This is also the greatest potential direction for our optimistic outlook on its development prospects.
