Companies other than Honeywell now manufacture miniature snap-action switches.

The miniature snap-action switch was invented in 1932 by Peter McGall, who was an employee of the Burgess Battery Company in Freeport, Illinois.

Since pressure may be changing slowly and contacts should operate quickly, some kind of over-center mechanism such as a miniature snap-action switch is used to ensure quick operation of the contacts.

A miniature snap-action switch, also trademarked and frequently known as a micro switch, is an electric switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping-point mechanism, sometimes called an "over-center" mechanism.

Miniature snap-action switch may be used for example as components of such devices as photocopiers, computer printers, convertible tops or microwave ovens to ensure internal components are in the correct position for operation and to prevent operation when access doors are opened.

The spans keep in line by using a simple micro switch system.

If the pump doesn't respond the micro switch is not at fault.

These limits are selectable locally by a manual switch or remotely by micro switches and will control external processes.

When the fuse element blows, the indicating pin extends to activate the micro switch or relay, which, in turn, triggers an event.
