KW8 Long Lever Micro Switch

A 31mm lever gives this micro switch considerably more actuation reach and leverage than a bare pushbutton-style switch, letting it trigger from a moving part contacting it at a distance rather than needing near-direct contact with the switch body itself. Internally it's a genuine SPDT switch - one normally-open and one normally-closed contact from a single actuation - giving a project the choice of either contact depending on whether the application needs a closes-when-triggered or opens-when-triggered signal.

Rated for both AC (125V/15A, 250V/6A) and DC (125V/0.6A, 250V/0.3A) operation, it handles genuinely significant switched loads directly rather than being limited to signal-level currents, and momentary action means the contact only holds while something is actively pressing the lever. That combination of mechanical leverage and real current-handling capacity is what makes it suited to machinery limit-switch duty rather than lightweight electronics signaling.

Common uses are machine and CNC limit/endstop switches where a lever needs to reach and trigger from a moving carriage or part, industrial safety interlock switches, and general equipment position-sensing needing a robust mechanical switch rather than a contactless sensor.
