Selection Guide

Compare Miniature Micro Switches

KW4 models offer a choice of actuator shapes, alongside WK1 and WK3 switches for other assembly layouts. Start with the mechanism movement, then compare connections and mounting.

Actuator & Travel

KW4-Z1F takes direct actuation. Short and long levers change the reach; arc and roller levers provide different contact profiles for moving parts.

Circuit & Load

The listed product tables describe momentary SPDT operation. Select the required COM, NO and NC connections and match the switching rating to the circuit voltage, current and load type.

Mounting & Terminals

Compare body dimensions, mounting holes and terminal orientation. For board-mounted designs, the WK1-1 drawing provides a reference for pin spacing and board clearance.

Actuator shape and terminal layout are useful starting points when comparing a new design with an existing switch.

Applications

Typical Switch Applications

Compact switching for moving mechanisms and electronic assemblies.

Compact Position Detection

Use direct or lever actuation to detect movement or position where assembly space is limited.

Cam & Sliding Mechanisms

Arc and roller levers provide different contact profiles for cams and sliding components.

Electronic & PCB Assemblies

Match switch mounting, terminal spacing and actuator clearance to the board, wiring and enclosure layout.

KW4-Z1F has no lever; KW4-Z2F has a short lever. KW4-Z3F and KW4-ZDF use long levers, KW4-Z4F an arc lever, and KW4-Z5F a roller lever. The shape and reach determine the contact point.

The switch changes contact state when the mechanism presses the actuator and returns after release. Operating point and travel determine where that change occurs.

SPDT provides a common terminal that changes between normally closed and normally open paths. Use the model diagram to identify COM, NC and NO for the required circuit.

Compare pin spacing, terminal direction, switch support and clearance around the actuator. These dimensions determine how the switch fits the board and enclosure.

Compare the full model drawings rather than the category name. Body dimensions, mounting holes, terminals and actuator position may differ. Send the existing code or a reference photo for a replacement enquiry.
