1TL1-1G

Toggle switches are a type of switch that comes in a range of shapes and sizes. They can be used in any application that requires either an on/off, latching or Momentary action. Toggle switches can be used to control operations of equipment such as lights, fans, pumps, motors, and other electrical devices.

1TL1-1G toggle switches are a type of snap-action switch that provide both reliable on/off switching and overload protection. They are designed for close tolerance, long-life operation, and have an operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C. The 1TL1-1G series features an adjustable actuation force, an adjustable operating torque, and an adjustable speed of operation.

The 1TL1-1G toggle switch is available in a compact 14-pin DIP package, which makes them a good choice for crowded or space-constrained designs. The 1TL1-1G switch is designed to operate at 12 Volts DC, making it suitable for a variety of applications, such as automotive, audio, and security systems.

Application Field

The 1TL1-1G toggle switch is rated for 6 A (Scheme A rating) or 3 A (Scheme B rating) at 250 Vac and 12 A (Scheme A) or 6 A (Scheme B) at 125 Vac. It also has UL, CSA, and CE certifications so it can be used in a variety of environments. The 1TL1-1G is suitable for applications such as automotive, audio and security systems, medical equipment, machinery, and a variety of control panels and enclosures.

Working Principle

The 1TL1-1G toggle switch has a snap-action switching mechanism which provides reliable on/off switching. When the toggle is in the off position, the contacts are open and no current is allowed to flow. When the toggle is moved to the on position, the contacts close and current can flow. This snap-action switching mechanism provides fast, reliable switching with minimal power loss.

The 1TL1-1G also features a unique overload protection mechanism which allows it to safely handle transient currents up to 12x the rated current. This feature ensures that the switch is not damaged by an overload and will stay in the on position until the overload has passed. This makes the 1TL1-1G toggle switch ideal for use in applications where overloads are a common occurrence.

Conclusion

The 1TL1-1G toggle switch is a reliable, long-lasting switch suitable for a variety of applications. Its snap-action switching mechanism provides fast, reliable switching with minimal power loss, while its unique overload protection mechanism ensures it can handle transient overloads without being damaged. It is UL, CSA and CE certified, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments and is available in a compact 14-pin DIP package.
