The small switch with a snap-action handle, also known as a micro switch, is an electrical switch that is activated with very little physical force. They are widely used in appliances, machinery, industrial controls, vehicles, and many other places to control electrical circuits. They are typically designed to carry current only in control circuits, although some switches can be used directly to control small motors, solenoids, lamps, or other devices.

This is a small micro switch sensor designed for Arduino. It can be connected directly to the IO Expansion shield. It integrates the pull-up resistor and the LED status indicator on the board, facilitating testing. The small micro switch with roller enhances its suitability for various environments.
