Introduction

Rocker switches are used to control electrical current in a circuit or appliance. They are aptly named for their rocking motion and can be found in a variety of applications from industrial to consumer. The 2TP8-70 is one type of rocker switch that has a few unique features and common uses. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the 2TP8-70 rocker switch.

Application Field

The 2TP8-70 rocker switch is a general purpose switch commonly used in home and industrial applications. It is especially applicable for AC and DC switching in single-phase circuits. It is used in controlling motors, pumps, fluorescent lamps and other AC-switchable devices. It is particularly suited for enerally switching large electrical loads with higher voltage. The 2TP8-70 rocker switch is constructed from high-grade phenolic material and offers UL600 V/12A rating. It can also be used with a range of accessories, such as digital power meters, time-delay relays and contactors to achieve specific technical requirements for specific operations.Due to its high electrical capacity, excellent shock performance and reliable operation, the 2TP8-70 rocker switch has proven to be an indispensable tool in the modern electrical industry. It is also used in medical and scientific equipment, music and audio systems, transportation, production and assembly lines and other industrial purposes.

Working Principle

The 2TP8-70 rocker switch features an integral contact closure mechanism. It has two rocker switch contacts – one on the upper side and the other one on the lower side. When in the OFF position, the contacts of the rocker switch are open. When the switch is activated, the contacts come together and complete the circuit, thus supplying the power. The operation of the 2TP8-70 rocker switch is relatively simple and relies on a set of interlocked contacts and a compact frame. When the switch is in the off position, the contacts of the rocker switch are disconnected, preventing power from flowing through the circuit and providing complete insulation. When the switch is in the on position, the contacts are pressed together under spring pressure, allowing the power to pass through the circuit and energize the appliance. The 2TP8-70 rocker switch also features an optional stainless steel contact protection shield, which prevents physical contact with the rocker switch and minimizes damage or accidental operation. This makes the 2TP8-70 rocker switch an excellent choice for hazardous or wet conditions, where contact with the switch is not possible or desirable.

Conclusion

The 2TP8-70 rocker switch is a versatile and reliable switching solution for a wide range of applications. It is constructed from high-grade phenolic material and features an integral contact closure mechanism which is easy to use and extremely durable. The 2TP8-70 is suitable for AC and DC switching in single-phase circuits, and it is capable of powering large electrical loads with higher voltage, making it the perfect choice for industrial and home application.
