12TW59-3D

Toggle switches are a type of mechanical switch that use a lever to control the on/off function of an appliance or an electric circuit. The 12TW59-3D is an example of a three-pole, double-throw (DPDT) toggle switch that is commonly used in applications that require two separate circuits or two switching operations. This type of switch is ideal for switching two separate circuits or for applications such as motor controls, lighting controls and sound mixing consoles.

The 12TW59-3D toggle switch is comprised of two plastic housing parts, one with a stationary contact assembly and the other with a movable contact assembly. Within the stationary contact assembly are two sets of spring-loaded, double-sided toggle contacts, each connected to its own insulated contact. These contacts have an off-centered contact on one side, allowing the switch to be closed in a single pole, double throw (SPDT) mode.

When the lever of the switch is in the up position, it will make an electrical connection between the two sets of contacts. This connection will allow electricity to flow between the two sets of contacts. When the lever is in the down position, the connection is broken and there is no longer any current flowing between the contacts. The switch can then be used to control the on/off operation of the electric circuit.

The 12TW59-3D toggle switch features two separate circuits that can be used for two different operations. For instance, the first circuit may be used to turn a light on and off and the second circuit to control a music player. When the lever is in the down position, both circuits will be closed, allowing electricity to flow. By moving the lever up, both circuits will be opened, breaking the electrical connection and stopping the operation of both the light and the music player.

The 12TW59-3D toggle switch is reliable and durable and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, it is designed to be resistant to shock and vibration, making it ideal for applications that require long cycles of on/off operation. It is available in several different colors, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings or stand out, depending on the desired effect.

The 12TW59-3D toggle switch is a versatile and reliable switch that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Its two separate circuits allow for two independent operations, making it ideal for motor controls, lighting controls and sound mixing consoles. Additionally, its shock and vibration resistance make it well-suited for applications that require long cycles of on/off operation.
