Toggle Switches

1003P2T6B11M1QE is a toggle switch, a type of electrical switches found in a wide variety of applications.

Designed to open, break and close an electrical circuit, toggle switches are found in a variety of uses, including automotive, industrial and aviation.

Today, toggle switches are used to control a wide variety of devices, from computer and audio systems to desk lamps.

Application & Working Principle

Toggle switches are two way switches that can be operated from two places, usually from two walls. When the switch is in one way, the circuit is closed and when the switch is in the other way, the circuit is opened. So, when used for home automation or for turning on or off devices, like lights and fans, one simply needs to turn the toggle switch from one side to the other.

In the case of 1003P2T6B11M1QE, it is a comparatively large toggle switch with two poles (2T) and 6 positions (6B). It comes with a protective plate and an indicating plate, making it ideal for applications such as controlling DC motors, bicycles and centrifuges.

The switch has an intricate mechanism that allows it to switch states by moving the toggle lever back and forth. The toggle lever is typically connected to a spring that is also connected to a pair of static contact patches. When the toggle lever is engaged, it moves up and down with the help of the spring, thus either connecting or opening the contact patches and allowing the current to pass through.

It is this mechanism that makes 1003P2T6B11M1QE a very versatile switch suitable for different types of applications. For example, it can be used to control the speed of a DC motor by switching the leads between different positions. In addition, it can be used to control the direction of movement of a conveyor belt.

These types of toggle switches are highly reliable and can be used in hazardous applications, such as in explosive or corrosive environments. They are also relatively low cost and consume very little power, making them a preferred choice for many applications.
