Product Overview

Its miniaturized design and high sensitivity make it a critical component in ensuring seamless automated operation of smart waste management devices.

Product Features

High Sensitivity: Has an actuation force of 1.5N - 3N and a response time of ≤10ms, ensuring timely lid operation when the sensor detects a hand or object. The plunger travel is 0.8mm, minimizing the force required to trigger the switch.

Low Power Consumption: Operates at 3V - 6V DC, consuming minimal energy (≤5mA in active state) to extend the battery life of smart trash bins, which typically use AA or AAA batteries.

Compact Design: Measures 16mm×10mm×5mm, fitting into the limited internal space of smart trash bin mechanisms. The terminal type is PCB mount, simplifying integration into the bin’s control circuit.

Longevity: Rated for 100,000 operations, with a contact bounce time of ≤5ms to prevent false triggers, maintaining consistent performance over time. The housing is made of heat-resistant nylon (PA66) for stability in varying temperatures.

Applications

Exclusively designed for smart trash bins, including automatic sensor-controlled bins in kitchens, offices, and public restrooms. Compatible with both battery-powered and AC-powered smart bins, where reliable lid actuation is essential for user convenience and hygiene.

FAQ

Q: How does the micro switch interact with the sensor?

A: The sensor (infrared or ultrasonic) detects proximity and sends an electrical signal to the bin’s control board, which then activates the micro switch to trigger the motor that opens or closes the lid.

Q: Is it waterproof?

A: It has a basic splash-proof design (IP20 rating) but is not fully waterproof; it should be kept away from direct water contact, such as liquid spills inside the bin.

Q: Can it be repaired if it malfunctions?

A: Due to its small size and precision nature, replacement is usually more practical than repair. Replacement parts are available through most smart bin manufacturers.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C, suitable for indoor environments where smart bins are typically used.
