A replacement microswitch for arcade coin mechanisms and other light mechanical sensing jobs. Its extra-long wire lever gives a coin chute, flap or cam a broad target, while the three terminals let you choose normally open or normally closed operation.

Wiring & getting started
- Check the mechanical fit
Compare the body, mounting holes, terminal clearance and lever path with the original switch.
- Identify the three contacts
Viewed from the marked side, the terminals are NC on the left, NO in the middle and COM on the right. COM is the shared contact, NC is connected to COM with the lever released, and NO connects to COM when the lever is pressed.
- Choose the switching pair
For a typical coin-credit input, use COM and NO so the circuit closes when the lever is pressed.
- Test the mechanism by hand
Confirm one clean contact change without forcing the lever against the housing, then reconnect the controller.
Note: This stock has no marked electrical rating. Use it for low-voltage signal switching unless you have independently confirmed suitability for a higher-load circuit.
