Current Switch

[ptonsparky]

I am looking for a small AC current switch. The ones I usually use are too large for the space I have to work with. Mine are about 2.25x2.25x1.88. It needs to be 120v N/O with about .5 to 5 amp sense. Set or adjustable range.

Anybody have a small one they use?

RIB/Functional Devices too big?

Yes.

Too big, but the $26 one on that page would work if the LED light would be visible from the customers kitchen window. I won’t bet on that though.

I like products from NK Technologies, they have been very reliable. They have a really small current sensing relay that is self powered, but the switch capacity is really low so you might have to use an interposing relay somewhere else depending on what you want to do.

The AS1 Series Compact Case Current Sensing Relay is an inexpensive, easy-to-use ring which slips onto a conductor to give a solid-state contact for indication of current flow.

That looks good. I have a 120v LED Stack light and will look at the specs for current draw. I have ABs small interposing relays if need be.

You mean a current sensing relay?
We got ours from Europa Components.

Obviously based in UK but they source most of their components from India. There may be a US company or companies that distribute there.
Good luck.
