I finally dug up a micro switch to replace my broken one. I was wondering what kind of ohm readings I should be getting when I test it. Of course when the switch is “off” it reads nothing or open. When I depress the switch I get a range of 2 to 8 ohms or there abouts. I always thought this switch was either off or on.

With any simple switch there will be "some" resistance. It really should be small. It may need to be cleaned. If it has oil between the contacts...oil film is a dielectric and reads as resistance.

However, just like the resistance in the simple switch of the TVS....the resistance...as long as it is not very high....is irrelevant to the operation. Its just an on/off solenoid switch like a light switch. Ray
