Toggle Switches: 1520204-1 Application Field and Working Principle

Toggle switches are ubiquitous within the electrical industry, found in a variety of products, including power tools, vehicles, and computer and video game consoles. The 1520204-1 toggle switch is one such product, used in a variety of settings. In this article, we will first discuss the application field of the 1520204-1 switch and then explain its working principle.

Application Field and Industries

The 1520204-1 is a 2-pole, 2-position toggle switch. It is typically used as a basic on/off switch, enabling a user to control the circuit and electronically actuate or deactivate connected electrical equipment. Generally, it is used in applications where a simple on/off switch is needed or appropriate. The 1520204-1 toggle switch is most often used in the power industry, in particular those applications related to power distribution, electrical control, and circuit protection. It is also often used in the automotive industry, in motor-driven vehicles and equipment, as well as in the medical and research fields. It is even seen in the entertainment industry, being used in computer and video games consoles and gaming systems.

Working Principle

Now that we have discussed some of the application fields with which the 1520204-1 toggle switch is relevant, let us explain the working principle behind the device. The switch consists of a metal toggle arm with a securely mounted insulating base. It features an externally visible actuator lever, used to open or close the switch. At rest, the switch is in the open position and current does not flow. When the actuator is pressed, the latch engages the toggle, changing the position of the switch, and current flows through the device. It functions similarly to a wall switch, where the toggle arm acts as a handle and the actuator functions as one end of the switch. When the toggle is in one position, the actuator is up and the circuit is in the off position. When the actuator is pressed down, the other end of the switch moves to the closed position and the circuit is then turned on.

Integrated Circuitry

The 1520204-1 also features integrated circuitry. This includes an integrated circuit (IC) that converts DC current to AC current, and a rectifier that provides protection against excessively high current. The IC allows the switch to be more durable and reliable, while the rectifier ensures that the device operates properly, even in extreme conditions. In addition to the integrated circuitry, the 1520204-1 also contains contacts. These are metal strips located along the switch’s body and are used to carry electrical signals from one terminal of the switch to the other. They ensure a smooth and efficient transmission of power.

Conclusion

The 1520204-1 is a 2-pole, 2-position toggle switch that is widely used in the power, automotive, medical and entertainment industries. It features an actuator lever to open and close the switch, and an integrated circuit and rectifier that provide protection against excessive currents and interference. The contacts within the device provide an efficient way of transmitting power between the terminals of the switch.
