    Default Minibot limit switch

    We are a little unsure of what exactly constitutes a limit switch with
    respect to permitted materials on a minibot. We have identified several
    switches described by our vendor (DigiKey) as belonging to the Category
    "Switches" and the Family "Snap Action, Limit, Lever" (typical example:
    http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...&name=CH392-ND).
    Based on the vendor's description (and the general construction of the switch) we would
    classify these as Limit Switches, thus making them legal for minibot use.
    However, the manufacturer calls this switch a "Panel Mount Pushbutton". Is
    the fact that our vendor calls this a limit switch sufficient to make it a
    limit switch and thus allowable on a minibot?

    Default Re: Minibot limit switch

    If it is marketed and sold as a limit switch, it is a limit switch. If it is called a pushbutton switch, it is not a limit switch.
