Versatile micro switch for models and kits

The Tamiya 5A Micro Switch is a compact, easy-to-use component suited to model making, club workshops, and classroom experiments. Its reliable mechanical action makes it a go-to for simple circuit control.

Current rating and practical fit

With a 5 ampere rating the switch is appropriate for many low-voltage applications in small robots and devices. Its slim profile helps when space is limited and it pairs well with standard hobby wiring and brackets.

Suitable educational and hobby uses

The switch is useful for teaching basic electronics, switching small loads like lights and motors, and creating physical inputs for simple programmes or circuits.

Use as a limit or input sensor

In mechanical systems the switch can act as a limit stop or a bump detector, offering predictable behaviour useful for repeatable control tasks in models and robots.

Yes, it can operate turnout detectors, trigger signals, or act as a simple stop sensor provided the electrical load stays within its rating.
Protect the contacts by using a driver, relay, or appropriate transistor when switching motors or inductive loads to avoid contact wear from high inrush currents.
Yes, replacement is simple: desolder the old unit and fit a new one or swap connectors if you have a plug style fitment for quick maintenance.
Check continuity with a multimeter while operating the actuator or connect it to a small LED circuit to observe the change between open and closed states.
