New Cherry K Series Roller Lever Micro Switches, 15.1A 125VAC/250VAC .5 HP, .5A 125VDC .25A 250VDC, UL & VDE Listed, Part Number KWMCVACQ or KWMC-VACQ or PKWMCVACQ.  Each bid quantity is for a Lot of Five (5) Switches.  You may bid / buy any number of lots, up to the total quantity available above.
This batch of switches was purchased at an industrial liquidation earlier this year, and they were brand new in the original factory boxes.  We repackaged them in heavy Ziplok bags for resale.  You will notice some minor darkening of the terminals because of the silver plating, and that's just what silver does.  You don't find that (silver plating) on lower quality made-for-import stuff nowadays.
These switches have three terminals, and they can be wired for both Normally Open and Normally Closed operation.  When the Normally Open terminal is used, electricity only flows through the switch
when
the lever is pressed down.  When the Normally Closed terminal is used, electricity flows through the switch
until
the lever is pressed down.  They are rated for use with DC current, and the contacts are gold plated silver alloy to withstand the more detrimental effects of DC voltage.  The 1/4" quick connect spade terminals are solid brass with a heavy silver plating.
Actuation force at the end of the lever is a medium 2.08 ounces, according to our scales.  The contacts close with a definitive "click" at about 1/2 travel, with the remaining 1/2 being overtravel.  The lever also has a second attachment / fulcrum point, which allows for more travel with less actuation force.
