microswitch
Small mechanical actuator
A microswitch is a small, sensitive switch that activates with minimal physical force, clicking decisively between on and off positions.
Microswitches appear in appliances, industrial equipment, and electronics where reliable, precise switching matters—detecting when a door closes, a button is pressed, or a lever reaches position.
Computer mice use microswitches for their click buttons.
