18235YCD3

Pushbutton Switches

The 18235YCD3 product is a pushbutton switch that performs multiple functions in a variety of applications. Its features include low contact resistance, long life, no voltage and arc suppression, reliable repeatability, and a wide temperature range of operation. This product is a genuine enhancement of the traditional switch by providing a more reliable switch mechanism and a longer life operation than other types of switches.

Product Features

The 18235YCD3 product includes many features that make it a valuable addition to any application. The product is available in both single-contact and double-contact models. The single-contact model offers a long life and is ideal for operations such as powering elevators, entertainment systems, or lighting. The double-contact model provides the additional feature of both increasing the load-bearing capacity of the switch, as well as providing the ability to directly switch two different circuits.

Another valuable feature of this product is the presence of a break-before-make contact system, which helps to reduce arcing and wear as the contacts are opened or closed. Additionally, the product features heavy-duty contacts and a forced-open design, making it a low power switch. Additionally, the product is designed to achieve a 250VAC, 10A rating.

Working Principle

The 18235YCD3 product is a SPST (single pole single throw) type switch. This type of switch is a simple on-off switch, which changes its position when it is activated. The switch contains two terminals, one which is in contact with the metal bar inside the switch, and the other which is connected to the metal contact plate. When the switch is not being used, the metal bar is not touching the metal contact plate, so no current flows through the switch. When the switch is activated by a push button, the metal bar slides up and touches the metal contact plate, closing the circuit and allowing current to flow. The switch automatically returns to its original position when the push button is released.

Application Field

The 18235YCD3 product is suitable for a wide range of applications including power control in industrial equipment, home appliance control, and process control in manufacturing plants. Additionally, due to the IP20 rating of the switch, it is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor locations. The product is also commonly used in automotive instrument panels and dashboards as a control switch for various operations such as turning off the interior lights and signals.

The application fields for the 18235YCD3 are virtually limitless. With its low power consumption, long life, and versatile design, it can be used in virtually any application that requires a reliable and durable switch.
