RS PRO Toggle Switch, Panel Mount, On-Off-On, DPDT, Solder Lug Terminal

RS PRO Toggle Switch, ON-OFF-ON, DPDT, Solder Lug Mount

Introducing the range of RS PRO sealed miniature toggle switches, ideal for use in the control of electrical circuits. Toggle switches interrupt the flow of current in an electrical circuit, 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 Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) ON-OFF-ON miniature toggle switch offering a 90 to 180-degree design on the terminal and a LED illumination option to help the switch to stand out. With a solder lug mount, the RS PRO miniature 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 DPDT 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 DPDT toggle switch?

A Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) toggle switch is a switch that uses 2 input terminals to 4 corresponding output terminals. The DPDT toggle switch can turn two circuits on and off, each of the poles can complete two different circuits. Making this switch very versatile in the use of electrical circuits.

Why would you need an DPDT type toggle switch?

DPDT Toggle switches are used within electricity to separate the flow of current in electrical circuits allowing for simultaneous switching of two independent signals. The DPDT switch would be used when two different circuits are served by the same pole.
