MICRO SWITCH
,G ives Maximum Closure Time
Choosing the coin operated switch with top performance means
trouble-free operation-fewer service calls and long machine life.
Speaking of top performance-note the first oscillogram of Micro
snap-action shown below that illustrates clean break, long closure
time, and absolute freedom from contact bounce.
It's this kind of dependable performance-without failure-which
means perfection of operating parts that meets the requirements of
coin operated machines.
The long closure time is a must-to make certain that the coin op-
erated switch allows sufficient time for relays to function properly.
To demonstrate this top performance by Micro Switch snap-action
on these three points-dean break, long closure time, and freedom
from contact bounce-other oscillograms are shown in contrast.
Because of these outstanding and important factors, you should use
Micro Switch snap-action in your equipment. Send for a sample
switch today. Just make your request on your letterhead to Micro
Switch, Freeport, Illinois.

All Desirable Characteristics of Micro Switch Snap-Action
Packed into a Housing not as Big as Your Thumb
Low torque, small size, and the long closure time are triple fea-
tures of this switch. The "small" size is a decided advantage, as
it can be used in many places that would otherwise be restricted-
however, performance is "big" and dependable.
Low torque of 10 gram cencimecers gives practically a feather
touch actuation.
Pre-travel of the actuating arm is 20° maximum, and differential
movement between operation and release on return is approxi-
mately 15° maximum. Over-travel is 20° minimum.
Being enclosed keeps our dust and dirt, and assures trouble-free
operation . Time-tested and proven dependability, based on ex-
perience gained in making millions of switches, gives you an
assurance of freedom from trouble.
How It is Used in Coin Operated Machines
When you use the Micro Coin Operoted Switch Jn coh, ma-
chln·es, the actuator is placed through a slit in the coin chute.
The long oiterating life of the switch, maximum duration of
contact, low torque with high resis•ance to shock and vibra-
tion, a generous spacing between terminals are factors in Its
popularity. Correct pre-travel, response to correct actuating
action, correct over-travel, and absolute dependability make
this Micro Switch pr1>duct a favorite among those who pro-
duce coin openated machines.
