Toggle Switch

A Toggle Switch is a versatile electromechanical component used to control the electrical state of a circuit by toggling it between two or more positions. It is commonly used to manually open or close electrical connections in a wide range of applications. Toggle switches are widely used in electronic circuits, control panels, machinery, and consumer products to provide manual control over various functions. They are known for their reliability, ease of use, and ability to handle different electrical loads, making them a fundamental component in many devices and systems.

Specifications:

• Operation: Toggle switches typically have a lever or handle that can be moved between different positions to change the state of the switch.
• Positions: They can have two (ON/OFF), three (ON/OFF/ON), or more positions depending on the specific switch type.
• Poles and Throws: Toggle switches can be single-pole, single-throw (SPST), single-pole, double-throw (SPDT), double-pole, single-throw (DPST), or double-pole, double-throw (DPDT), with various switching configurations.
• Contact Ratings: Toggle switches have different contact ratings, indicating the maximum current and voltage they can handle safely.
• Mounting: Available in various mounting styles, including panel mount, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mount, and more.
• Actuator Types: Actuators can vary in design, such as bat handles, lever handles, or rocker-style actuators.
• Materials: Switch bodies are often constructed from durable materials like metal or plastic.
• Applications: Used in a wide range of applications, including lighting control, power distribution, industrial equipment, and more.
