How does a micro switch work?

A micro switch functions through a simple mechanism with three main parts: an actuator (like a lever or plunger), a spring, and electrical contacts. When the actuator is pressed or released, it moves the spring to a critical point where it snaps into a new position. This movement quickly changes the state of the electrical contacts inside the switch, either opening or closing them.

How to test a micro switch?

To test a micro switch, start with a visual inspection for damage or wear.

Use a multimeter set to continuity mode to probe across the switch terminals; it should show low resistance (closed circuit) when the switch is pressed and high resistance (open circuit) when released.

Operate the switch to confirm it audibly clicks and controls the device as intended.
