Bump Switch - SPST Snap Action with Lever (Micro Switch)

This is a SPDT Snap Action Micro Switch with a lever for actuating the snap action and the switch to work. It has three pins/legs, namely Common (C), Normally Closed (NC), and Normally Open (NO). This is SPDT Single Pole Double Throw switch and can be used as both NO Normally Opened Switch or NC Normally Closed Switch separately or simultaneously, depending on the application. The lever is used to press a tiny momentary push-button below it which will establish contact between Common (C) and NO terminals. The switches can be used to create bump sensors for robots or as limit switches in electronic appliances like microwaves, printers, Refrigerators, and Hospital Beds. It can also be used to determine the state of operation like whether the appliance is working or not.
