Electronic microswitch travel switch RV161C25 (without chip) A compact, mechanical travel (limit) microswitch manufactured to the RV161C25 specification. This switch provides a simple, reliable way to detect position or endoftravel without any integrated electronics — ideal when you need a straightforward mechanical contact with predictable performance. Key benefits Simple, no‑chip design: pure mechanical switching for easy integration or direct replacement where electronic components are not required. Reliable position detection: built for consistent actuation and repeatable switching in motioncontrol and safetylimit applications. Compact and serviceable: small footprint makes it suitable for confined spaces and straightforward to or install. Costeffective maintenance: eliminates unnecessary electronics when only a mechanical contact is needed, reducing cost and complexity. What it does and why you need it Acts as a travel/limit switch to detect movement endpoints or trigger control logic via a mechanical contact. Solves problems where electronic chips are undesirable (noise sensitivity, EMI concerns, or when an electricalonly interface is required). Provides a direct, durable interface between moving parts and electrical control systems. Key attributes Model: RV161C25 — use this model number to confirm fit and compatibility with existing equipment or assemblies. Type: Electronic microswitch / travel (limit) switch — mechanical contact actuation without integrated chip. Construction: Designed for compact mounting and repeatable actuation (mechanical components and housing suited to typical microswitch applications). Functionality: Position detection, endoftravel switching, and manual or mechanical actuation in control circuits. Compatibility: Intended as a dropin solution for systems that specify the RV161C25 microswitch or require a simple, chip mechanical switch. Always verify connector style and electrical ratings with your system requirements before installation. Typical applications Motion and position limits in small machinery, CNC devices, and 3D printers — detects endoftravel for motors and actuators. Appliance and equipment door or lid detection — reliable mechanical confirmation of open/closed positions. Industrial control panels, vending machines, and consumer devices where a simple, robust contact is required without added electronics. Usage and installation notes Confirm that RV161C25 matches the mounting, actuator style, and electrical requirements of your equipment. 'Without chip' means the switch provides only mechanical contacts; any signal conditioning, filtering, or logic must be handled by external circuitry. For safe operation, verify voltage and current ratings of the host system against the switch's specifications (match in replacement situations). Why choose this microswitch Use the RV161C25 without chip when you need a dependable, uncomplicated mechanical switch for position sensing or endoftravel control. It is a straightforward, economical choice for technicians and designers who prefer or require a chip contact solution.
