Starion Hinge Lever Microswitch (SZM-V16-2FA-83)

A departure from the common Gersung GSM-V1623A2 or popular GSM-V1623A3 microswitch is the Crown CWL-309MJ-BENYLIS-ST35 Joystick preference to the Starion SZM-V16-2FA-83 hinge-lever microswitch.  Enthusiasts within the Korean lever community say that it possesses similar overall characteristics of the A3 and actuation features of the Omron V microswitch, though more economically priced than either model.  If we look at the estimated specs of the Omron V model:

• Operation force max: 1.23N (125gf)
• Pre-travel max: 4.0mm
• Movement differential max: 1.5mm
• Over-travel min: 1.6mm
• Operation point: 15.2mm ± 1.2mm
• Release force max: 0.14N (14.3gf)
  
  

Let's also look at the specs of the Gersung A3

• Operation force max: rough estimated 1.76N (~180gf)
• Pre-travel max: 4.0mm
• Movement differential max: 1.5mm
• Over-travel min: 1.6mm
• Operation point: 15.2mm ± 1.2mm
  
  

The Starion provides an approximate ~180gf feel or (300gf for the pin plunger model). The Omron family does not possess a 180gf equivalent microswitch.
