Review on 6Pcs Long Hinge Bending Lever Arm SPDT Snap Action Micro Limit Switch Arduino V-154-1C25 - Twidec by Keyone Brownlee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Failed quickly in a Shurflo Revolution pump

This is the continuation of a never ending saga trying to find a microswitch that actually works for more than ten cycles. I even installed a 24V TVS diode to try and lengthen the life of the poor switch. The system voltage is 24V and the Amps for the Shurflo Revolution pump is about 7 Amps so it is not exceeding the 16 Amp rating of the microswitch.I finally caved in and replaced the switch with one from a bag of 20 of them I got on Amazom back in 2019 that seem to work but you hafta grind down the plastic housing with a file to get them to fit into the housing. It is just annoying. But these switch drop right in so I really want these to work since it makes for a much faster repair. But only lasting two or three days is not acceptable for a Shurflo pump.

Pros
  • works great, replace microwave switches and now it works like when it was new.
Cons
  • Possibility of accidental triggering or false readings due to sensitivity
