RS PRO Toggle Switch, Through Hole Mount, On-Off-On, SPDT, Through Hole Terminal

RS PRO Toggle Switch, ON-OFF-ON, SPDT, Through-Hole Mount

Introducing the range of RS PRO sealed miniature toggle switches, ideal for use in the control of electrical circuits. The Toggle switches interrupt the flow of current in electrical circuits, allowing for both ON-OFF functions in opening or closing the circuit. The toggle switch works by removing contact with the terminal: switching OFF and re-connecting the two for ON.

This high-quality toggle switch is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) ON-OFF-ON miniature toggle switch with a water-proof sealant preventing dust from getting inside during soldering. With a PC through-hole mount, the RS PRO Toggle Switch complies with IP67 standards has a 5A contact rating and a capability to operate between -40°C and 85°C. This toggle switch also has a long electrical life so is ideal for a variety of applications such as telecommunications and industrial controls. The RS PRO miniature toggle Switch is an essential component to a range of electrical circuits.

Applications:

The RS PRO miniature toggle switch can be used to control the flow of electrical circuits with the open or close of a current. This toggle switch would be useful in telecommunications and networking equipment for wireless network cards, handheld devices and reset switches. The SPDT toggle switch could also be used in instrumentation to shut-off switches using controllers proving it to be essential in industrial controls such as joysticks, grips and power supplies. This toggle switch can also be used in other circumstances such as elevator controls, boat and marine control panels, catering and medical such as food processing equipment and a wheelchair motor switches. The toggle switch is also used in test and measurement equipment as well as security systems and construction. It’s clear to see how versatile and essential this product is.

What is an SPDT toggle switch?

A Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch uses a single input connecting to two output terminals to operate as either an on-off switch or to connect circuits to two varying paths.

Why would you need an SPDT type toggle switch?

SPDT Toggle switches can connect circuits to any two paths of which the circuit might function. For example, an SPDT switch may be used for two different functions i.e. a printer from standby to ready.
