Toggle Switch is a kind of manual control switch, mainly used for AC and DC power supply circuit on-off control. With the characteristics of small size, easy to operate, often used in electronic equipment.
In manual operation, Toggle Switches can be divided into two stages. First, pull the trigger in the middle with your hand until the trigger is vertical. At this point, the tip of the monopole slider gradually moves closer to the middle until the middle position, and further compresses the compression spring. After the trigger passes the vertical position, the monopole slider moves rapidly in the other direction under the pressure of the compression spring, and drives the trigger to turn rapidly. At this point, the moving contact is quickly separated from the fixed stylus on one side and quickly connected to the fixed stylus on the other side. This is the second stage. At this time, the separation speed of the contact is related to the pressure of the compression spring and the friction force between the moving parts. The speed is very high. According to the tests, the time from contact disconnection to reconnection was only about milliseconds, with the average speed reaching old millimetres of seconds. This speed is many times faster than manual pulling speed or maneuvering test pulling speed.
Classification of toggle switches:
1. Bipolar single button switch. The switch opens both the phase line and the N line to control a branch, so it is a bipolar single toggle switch. The contact adopts 3PDT form, which is used for multimedia speakers and audios.
2. Install the right Angle toggle switch vertically. The vertical mounting of the terminal is at a right Angle to the terminal pin, so the right Angle toggle switch is installed vertically. The contact is made of gold-plated material with high reliability. Used for anti-theft devices and alarm systems.
3. Splash proof button switch. The panel is equipped with an "O" sealing ring, knob handle is spherical, so it is a splash - proof knob handle button switch. The terminal is in - line and the bottom of the terminal is sealed with epoxy resin. Strong corrosion resistance, suitable for Auto Parts.
4. Install the right Angle toggle switch horizontally. Compared to the vertical switch, it just changes the direction to horizontal, so it is a horizontal right Angle toggle switch. The contact is double pole double throw, and the bottom of the terminal is sealed with epoxy resin. Used mostly for computer peripherals.
5. Standard surface mount non-thread toggle switch. The terminal is installed in a standard form with a threaded bushing, which is called a standard table stick threaded toggle switch. Contact is single - pole double - throw, electrical life up to 55000 times. Used mostly in medical equipment.
A toggle switch is an electrical switch. Turn a circuit on or off by moving the lever back and forth. Button switches on the market have: self - locking and reset type two. The self-locking toggle switch will change the position of the shift lever at startup and remain in that position until it is started again. The reset toggle switch is activated only when the switch is operated by someone. Toggle switches are simple to operate and can be used in commercial and household appliances, usually as light switches. Some toggle switches also have clamps to prevent wrong switching.
