Mini Toggle Switch SPDT

This miniature toggle switch has low contact resistance and can be panel mounted, it is a SPDT contact, ON-OFF-ON three position and straight PCB terminal,

The miniature toggle switches are usually found allowing or cutting off electrical currents and can be used for any automation or electrical application. We offer a variety of toggle switch accessories, such as panel mounts, plating panels and toggle switch boots.

The "toggle switch on - off - on" is a type of switch with three distinct positions, offering enhanced functionality compared to a standard on - off switch. Here's an in - depth look at its characteristics, operation, and applications:

1. Structure and Operation

• Physical Design: It typically features a lever or toggle that can be moved to one of three positions. The switch contains internal contact mechanisms, usually made of highly conductive materials like brass or copper, which are responsible for establishing or breaking electrical connections.

• Three Positions:

• On (Position 1): When the toggle is moved to the first "on" position, a specific set of contacts closes, completing an electrical circuit and allowing current to flow through a designated path. This enables a particular function or set of functions within the connected electrical system.

• Off: In the middle position, all electrical connections are broken, and the circuit is open. No current flows, effectively turning off any associated devices or functions.

• On (Position 2): Moving the toggle to the second "on" position closes a different set of contacts. This routes the current through an alternative circuit path, enabling a separate function that is distinct from the first "on" position. For example, in a lighting fixture, one "on" position might turn on a low - intensity set of bulbs, while the other "on" position activates a higher - intensity set.

2. Types and Variations

• Pole and Throw Configurations: It can be available in different pole - throw combinations. For instance, a single - pole on - off - on toggle switch controls one electrical circuit and has three possible connection states for that single circuit. A double - pole on - off - on toggle switch, on the other hand, can control two separate circuits simultaneously, with each circuit having its own set of three connection states.

• Illuminated Versions: Some on - off - on toggle switches come with built - in LED or incandescent lights. The illumination can be configured to light up in different colors or patterns depending on the switch position, providing visual feedback about the current state of the circuit. For example, a green light might indicate the first "on" position, a red light the second "on" position, and no light when the switch is in the off position.
