Micro Switch SD-16234 (4 available)
« on: Sat, 02 April 2016, 03:02:55 »
Hey guys,

Three like-new Micro Switch SD-16234s just appeared on eBay for $99.95 each + shipping:





Are they Hall Effect? Magnetic reed? Are they worth that much? Beats me, but I thought you might like to know. Cheers, A.

Somehow I doubt I could come out ahead, factoring in the divorce expenses.

I grabbed one.

Sorta on the high end for what I pay for Hall, but I felt like I needed another one as I ramp up my hall effect characterization and electrical engineering. (I am seeing how they perform under different circumstances so I can engineer a reliable controller)
