Application of mercury switch
Nowadays, mercury switches are mainly used for horizontal control, anti-tilt control, displacement control and so on. In recent years, mercury switches are also more often used in exam cheating, and because of its small size, open variety, cheap, although we do not advocate, but it is still more and more widely used in a variety of cheating places. Of course, the mercury switch can also be applied to the military, it can be made into a bomb anti-demolition device, this case occurred in Taiwan, the police accidentally touched the mercury switch when defusing the bomb and perished.
Third, the difference between mercury switches and ball switches
1, the ball switch can meet the environmental requirements, while the mercury switch because of its own material problems can not reach.
2, ball switch because of the conductive is through the metal bead trigger pin energized to generate signals, because the ball with the trigger pin contact area is small and the ball is active, so the conductive sometimes there will be flash off phenomenon, while the mercury switch is mercury with the trigger end contact, because the mercury is liquid, the contact surface is large and stable, generally speaking, the conductive effect is more stable.
3, the ball switch is a metal shell, structural strength is better.
