Lot 10 panasonic 15A lever micro switches microswitches
This item was acquired at a surplus sale recently, and they were brand new in the original factory boxes. We repackaged them in 4mil Ziploc bags for resale. The terminals show some minor tarnish because they are made of silver alloy, and that's just what silver does.
The silver alloy contacts are rated at a hefty 15 amps, with an electrical life of 100,000 cycles at full load, so these are not your run-of-the-mill imported junk. Very nice switches for many applications, and made by a respected manufacturer.
These have three connector terminals - C, NC, and NO, which allows them to be wired for either Normally Closed or Normally Open operation. First, connect your incoming (hot) wire to the angled "C" terminal on the side of the switch. If the outgoing (load) wire is connected to the "NC" terminal, electricity flows through the switch continuously until the lever is pushed (push lever to turn OFF). If the outgoing (load) wire is connected to the "NO" terminal, electricity flows only while the lever is pushed (push lever to turn ON). For added "excitement" in your life, simply neglect to turn off the electricity at the fuse box before making your connections.
