What is toggle switch?

2023-07-10

A Toggle Switch is a manually controlled switch, mainly used for on-off control of AC and DC power circuits, but generally can also be used in circuits of several kilohertz or up to 1 megahertz. It has the characteristics of small size, easy operation, etc., and is a commonly used switch in electronic equipment.


Species


There are two and three operating positions. The three position switch can have a certain side position is not positioned. At the same time, there are many types of connected circuits. There are many kinds of button handles of button switch, such as metal cone knob, plastic cone knob, fluorescent knob, plastic sleeve knob, spherical knob, flat rod knob, lock rod knob, wave knob, paddle knob and so on. The lock lever type knob is suitable for dangerous operating situations. There is also a "lift unlock" type knob, which is equipped with a spring and a milling groove at the end of the screw tube mouth. The operator must first lift the knob and then push it to another position to ensure safe work.

Operating Principle

In manual operation, the switch action can be divided into two stages. The first stage is to use the hand to pull the lever toward the center until the lever is in a vertical position. At this time, the tip of the single-blade slider gradually moves closer to the middle until the middle position, and the compression spring is further compressed. After the lever is over the vertical position, the single-blade slider moves rapidly in the other direction under the pressure of the compression spring, and drives the lever to turn rapidly, then the moving contact plate is quickly separated from the fixed contact foot on one side and quickly connected with the fixed contact foot on the other side, which is the second stage. At this time, the separation speed of the contact is related to the size of the pressure spring and the friction between the moving parts, and the speed is very high. According to the test, the time from contact disengagement to reconnection is only about milliseconds, and the average speed is a few millimeters of seconds. This speed is many times faster than manual or maneuvering test speed.
