    Default Snap Acting VS Slow Break Limit Switch?

    Does anyone have any experience or can suggest which type of limit switch would be best for home switches? Repeatability vs durability? I'm leaning towards snap acting to minimize arcing, but I don't have enough experience either way to know for sure.

    Thanks!

    Arcing is not really an issue with low energy circuits (like 5V inputs to your controller). The slow acting limits are more accurate and repeatable. Durability? Millions of cycles normally.
