- Description:
- A toggle switch is a mechanical switch with a lever that toggles between two or more positions, providing simple on-off control over the flow of electrical current in electronic circuits.
- Available in various configurations, including single-pole single-throw (SPST), single-pole double-throw (SPDT), and double-pole double-throw (DPDT), these switches offer versatility for different circuit designs and applications.
- Toggle switches come with different actuator types such as toggle levers, rockers, and paddles, allowing users to choose the most suitable option based on ergonomic preferences and space constraints.
- With their robust construction and reliable performance, these switches are commonly used in industrial machinery, automotive electronics, instrumentation, and consumer appliances for controlling power, selecting modes, and switching between functions.
- Terminal options include solder lugs, screw terminals, quick-connect terminals, and PCB mounting, providing flexibility for installation and integration into various electronic systems and devices.
