2TL95-5

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are widely used in a variety of applications due to their versatility, reliability, and durability. One such toggle switch is the 2TL95-5, a miniaturized toggle switch ideally suited for limited space applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 2TL95-5 switch.

Application Field of 2TL95-5 Switch

The 2TL95-5 switch is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch designed for a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in appliances, automotive, instrumentation, and industrial equipment. This switch features a maximum current capacity of 10A (AC125V), making it capable of controlling heavy-duty devices. In addition, it is a latching type switch with excellent sealing performance and a long mechanical life, even after many operating cycles.

Working Principle of 2TL95-5 Switch

When a button is pressed or a lever is moved, the 2TL95-5 toggle switch will transfer a current between two poles. This type of switch is designed with a spring loaded actuator that makes contact with two electrical contacts to either open or close the switch. When the actuator is pressed, the current is interrupted and the switch is considered "OFF." When released, the spring will force the contacts back together, allowing current to flow and the switch is considered "ON."

The 2TL95-5 switch is a latching type switch which requires the actuator to be pressed twice before the switch will change state. This makes the 2TL95-5 switch ideal for applications that require a secure operation that can not be changed accidentally. Additionally, the switch uses a secure locking mechanism which prevents the actuator from being forced open, ensuring that the switch cannot be forced open in the event of a power surge.

The 2TL95-5 switch is an ideal choice for limited space applications due to its miniature size. This switch only measures 16 x 19mm, making it easy to incorporate into even the most space-limited designs. Furthermore, this switch is designed with high-precision terminals that can be easily installed, reducing assembly time and costs.

Conclusion

The 2TL95-5 is a miniaturized toggle switch that is capable of providing reliable and durable switching for a wide range of applications. Its small size and easy installation make it ideal for limited space applications. Additionally, its latching type and secure locking mechanisms make it suitable for applications that require secure operations.
