What Is a Limit Switch?
A limit switch is an electromechanical device that detects the presence, absence, or position of an object. When the lever arm is actuated by contact with a moving part, it opens or closes a circuit — making these switches ideal for end-stop detection, safety cutoffs, door sensors, and automated control systems.
Common Applications
- 3D printer end-stop control
- CNC machine axis limiting
- Robotic arm position detection
- DIY electronics and automation projects
- Conveyor belt and industrial machinery control
- Door/gate open-close sensing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the three pins on the KW11-3Z limit switch?
A: The three pins on the KW11-3Z micro limit switch are Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). This allows flexible wiring for both open-circuit and closed-circuit applications depending on your project's needs.
Q: Are these KW11-3Z micro switches compatible with 3D printers?
A: Yes! The KW11-3Z 3-pin limit switch is one of the most widely used end-stop switches for 3D printers and CNC machines. Their compact size, standard pin spacing, and reliable actuation make them a popular drop-in choice for most popular 3D printer builds.
Q: What is the maximum voltage and current rating for these limit switches?
A: Each KW11-3Z micro limit switch is rated for up to 5A at 250V AC, making them suitable for a wide range of low-to-medium power control circuits. For EU LVD compliance, they are rated for low-voltage use (below 50V AC or 75V DC) in those applications.
