History of Micro Switch
| The first micro switch was invented by Peter McGall in 1932 in Freeport, Illinois. McGall was an employee of the Burgess Battery Company at the time. In 1937 he started the company MICRO SWITCH. The company and the Micro Switch trademark has been owned by Honeywell Sensing and Control since 1950. The trademark has become a widely used description for snap-action switches. Companies other than Honeywell now manufacture miniature snap-action switches. |
