Hello!

I'm having trouble with this little switch on a circuit board and I'm wondering if someone here might be able to help me identify the part.

The switch is circled in red.

Thanks!

 

What is wrong with the switch?
It is a simple SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) switch.
Get a small flat metal file and gently clean the contacts.
Do not use sandpaper.

 

Looks to me like an everyday cam switch with a single pole and one normally open and one normally closed contact with a common. When the cam rotates the switch opens and closes based on cam position. Sort of crude but looke like they should work fine, I see two of them.

I see Mr Chips has replied. Yes, I would just clean the contacts as described.

Thanks Chips,

I believe the contacts are not connecting as the should on the right switch. I think the little part in the middle should be to the right in this position. Do you think so as well?

 

On the suspect switch the spring appears to be broken or severely bent. On the working switch the spring is a nce curve.

 

Yes, your right! I never noticed that until right now.

So, how do I find the replacement for that ...

Thanks for all the help!

 

Looks like a Spdt leaf switch, you can replace it with a roller microswitch.
