12TW8-1

12TW8-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 12TW8-1 toggle switch is a double-throw type electrical switch that works for various applications. It can be used for devices including low voltage illumination control, bathroom utilities control, remote control, audio-visual devices control, and more. The 12TW8-1’s working principle is based on a mechanism that takes a “one-way” action that can only be operated once, and can only turn On/Off the switch’s output electrical supply.

Characteristics of 12TW8-1

The equipment of 12TW8-1 is made of non-corrosive plastic material which is not hazardous to the environment. The number of contacts is two, with a switch open type or two throw type. The operation is manual and the load is 12A/250V (such as 12TW8-1-05 and 12TW8-1-06).

External Structure of 12TW8-1

The output layer is divided into two parts. The rear part is sealed and the function of this area is to fix the structure and its components. The top part is an accessible panel. It includes an ambient temperature knob, a switch actuator, and an angle of travel indicator.

Working Principle of 12TW8-1

The 12TW8-1 is based on a mechanical principle that operates on a one-way action. The switch’s output electrical supply can only be On/Off when the switch actuator is pressed. When the switch is in On state, the contacts will not remain closed when they are no longer pressed and will spring back to the Off position.

The 12TW8-1 is designed to work with a low voltage AC load. When the switch is turned on, the two contacts open, and electrical current is prevented from flowing through. When the switch is turned off, the contacts close, and the electrical current will flow through.

Advantages of 12TW8-1

The 12TW8-1 toggle switch provides various advantages beyond its simple operation. The switch’s design is versatile for numerous applications, and the control knob is easily accessible. The 12TW8-1 is environmentally friendly and can be used safely for a number of different purposes. It is a cost effective switch that works well with low voltage devices, and is easy to install and maintain.

Conclusion

The 12TW8-1 is a reliable and efficient toggle switch that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It operates on a one-way action principle, making it easy to use and maintain. The switch uses low voltage AC load and provides a cost effective solution. It is also environmentally friendly and is designed to meet the high quality standards of the industry.
