12TL1-50M

Toggle switches are a type of switch that can be operated by a mechanical lever, handle or rocker. They have been around for many years and are currently still used in a wide range of applications. The 12TL1-50M is a toggle switch that is designed for high current applications up to 50 Amps. It is a surface-mount toggle switch with a variety of features and configurations for different applications.

The 12TL1-50M is constructed from high-grade stainless steel with an insulating coating for maximum corrosion resistance. This toggle switch has an on/off and momentary action, meaning it can either remain in the on or off position, or can be used for momentary operation. It also features an Override Circuit Breaker, which helps to protect against current overloads. The contacts are single-pole double-throw (SPDT), so it can be configured to either stay in the on or off position, or momentarily open when activated.

The 12TL1-50M can be used in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in heavy machinery, such as industrial equipment, where high current is required. It can also be used in automotive, marine and commercial applications. Other typical applications include controlling lighting ballasts, HVAC systems, pumps, and other equipment that requires a toggle switch.

In terms of working principle, the 12TL1-50M toggle switch works by using two copper contacts that are connected to either terminals of a circuit. When the lever is in the off position, the contacts remain closed and the current can\'t pass through them. When the lever is flipped to the target position, the contacts open and the current can flow freely through the circuit.

The 12TL1-50M toggle switch is designed for high current and extreme environmental conditions. It is rated for 50 Amps continuous current and is suitable for operation in temperatures between -55ºC and +105ºC. It also features excellent dielectric strength and vibration resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

In summary, the 12TL1-50M is a robust and reliable toggle switch that is suitable for high current applications up to 50 Amps. It is constructed from high-grade stainless steel and features insulation coating for maximum corrosion resistance. This toggle switch also features an Override Circuit Breaker, which helps to protect against current overloads. It can be used in a variety of applications, including heavy machinery, automotive and marine applications. In terms of working principle, the switch works by using two copper contacts that are opened and closed when the lever is operated.
