What Is a Toggle Switch?

The toggle switch is used to switch the circuit on or off, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the circuit. Commonly used varieties of toggle switches are single-pole double-position, single-pole three-position, double-pole double-position, and double-pole three-position. It is generally used in low-voltage circuits. Mainly widely used in: various instruments / instruments, various electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical equipment, beauty equipment, and other electronic products. Table 9-10 lists the main characteristic parameters and external structure of some toggle switches.

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are divided into: small current toggle switch (right picture), and high current toggle switch (left picture). Small current toggle switches are commonly used in electronic toys and digital communications. High current is generally used in electrical appliances, machinery, etc.

Toggle switches are widely used in: various instruments / instruments, various electric toys, fax machines,

Rated power: DC50V 0.3A

Operating temperature range: -20 ~ 60

Performance of all aspects of the toggle switch:

One.

The toggle switch is mainly assembled by the following parts through the corresponding process:

1.Iron shell (Material: Generally iron; Treatment process: Pass

1. Audio and video products: MP3, MP4 audio;

2. Digital products: digital cameras,

1. The normal action force is: 250 + _50gf

2.Terminal strength: Apply force (500gf) to the tip of either direction for 1 minute. There are no cracks, throbbing and other abnormalities in the row feet.

Use chemicals with caution

The bottom plate of the toggle switch uses synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, so it should be avoided to expose the potentiometer to the strong atmosphere of chemicals such as ammonia, amines, alkaline solutions, threon, ketones, esters, and halogen hydrocarbons.

2. Use flux with caution

Avoid using water-soluble flux when soldering, otherwise it will adversely affect the metal and other materials that make up the toggle switch.

Solder

Wiring design and soldering methods should be avoided to cause molten solder to flow onto the plane of the PC board, which will cause poor contact.

4. Low temperature work

When the product is used in a low temperature environment, such as a cold car radio or car audio, our company provides comfortable products according to customer requirements. Please specify when ordering.

5. Length of slider

The shorter the length, the better (at least 5mm). Under the condition that the width A of the slider is unchanged, the shorter the slider length, the better the feel, and the higher the output point, the worse the feel.

6. Driving arm

Do not keep the operating point away from the center line of the slider. For the same reason, the shorter the distance B between the two, the better.
