With global smartphone users exceeding 6 billion and car ownership in China alone surpassing 200 million, the demand for in-car accessories is exploding. The wireless car charger mount has emerged as a must-have gadget, combining navigation convenience with power replenishment. But have you ever wondered how these devices know exactly when to start charging? The answer often lies in a clever application of a micro switch.
Early wireless chargers often stayed active as long as they were plugged in, wasting energy and potentially generating excess heat. Modern "gravity-linkage" mounts solve this by only activating the charging circuit when a phone is actually present.
The working principle is a brilliant example of simple yet effective mechanical engineering:
The Trigger: A Unionwell G10 Micro Switch is installed at the base of the mount's bottom support bracket.
Gravity Action: When a driver places their phone onto the mount, the weight of the device compresses the bottom bracket spring, causing it to sink.
Activation: This downward movement physically triggers the micro switch.
Smart Charging: The switch completes the circuit, instantly activating the wireless charging coil to power the phone.
Auto-Stop: When the phone is removed, the spring pushes the bracket back up, releasing the switch and cutting off the power. This prevents energy waste and protects the circuit.
For this application, size and sensitivity are paramount. The Unionwell G10 Subminiature Micro Switch is the ideal candidate.
Compact Design: Small enough to fit inside the slim housing of a phone mount without adding bulk.
Sensitive Actuation: Designed to trigger reliably even with lightweight smartphones, ensuring a consistent charging connection every time.
While this specific application is a burgeoning market niche with vast potential, partnering with a reliable component supplier can give manufacturers a first-mover advantage.
