Toggle switches are a type of switch that are used to mechanically control an electrical circuit. They are characterized by a metal lever mounted on a switch housing mounted to a plate or surface. The metal lever is typically attached to a pivot point on the switch housing so that when pressure is applied to the lever, it can open or close the switch.

The 12TW1-5 toggle switch is a medium-to-large sized switch designed for use in automotive and commercial applications. The switch is designed to be able to handle up to 5Amp at 50V DC. With a long handle and clearly marked markings, the 12Tw1-5 toggle switch is easily identified and operated.

The 12TW1-5 is a single pole, double throw, center off switch. Single pole means that it connects only one circuit path to the input or output. Double throw means that the switch can change the current to two different directions. The center off setting means that when the toggle handle is shifted to the center, the current connection is completely “off”.

Applications for the 12Tw1-5 toggle switch can vary greatly, depending on the needs of the user. Generally, this switch is used in alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) low to medium current applications. It is often used in automobile electrical systems, portable appliances and machine control panels. It is seen in applications such as starting or stopping motors, or powering up and down devices.

The mechanism which creates the circuit connection when the switch is in use is the same for all toggle switches. When the handle is moved, a momentary actuator actuates a switch, either connecting or disconnecting the two circuits of the switch, depending on the positions of the handle. Many times, the toggle switch is filled with air, a light oil, or sometimes grease and wax to lubricate the internal parts. This helps the switch move smoothly and prevents unnecessary wear on the internal parts.

When properly installed and wired, the 12TW1-5 toggle switch is a reliable and cost-effective solution for any switching needs. The switch can assist with starting and stopping motors and other machinery, controlling system power and providing ease of access to a number of circuit connections. With its durable construction, the switch can withstand harsh environmental conditions and still perform dependably for years to come.
