The 3-102-646 Pushbutton Switch is a momentary contact switch, which works as a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch. This type of switch is most commonly used to start and stop machinery and is commonly referred to as a toggle switch. The switch has a metal body and an internal plunger spring, which is activated when the plunger is pressed by a user or an external force.
The 3-102-646 Pushbutton Switch can be used in a variety of applications, such as controlling lighting and motors, as well as providing a safe stop and start function. It is often used in machines such as elevators, conveyors, and assembly lines. Additionally, the switch can be used to connect and disconnect power to machines and is often found in industrial and medical applications in which safety is a priority.
The 3-102-646 Pushbutton Switch is rated for 10V-30V DC and has an electrical current rating of 125mA. It is waterproof and dust-proof, making it suitable for applications where it is exposed to the elements. The switch is also very reliable due to its robust construction and is capable of withstanding multiple operations without any significant deterioration in performance.
The working principle of the 3-102-646 Pushbutton Switch is quite simple. When the plunger is pressed, it activates the contact point, which in turn creates an electrical contact between the two contacts. The resulting current passes through the switch and is then used to control the operation of machines or other appliances. When the plunger is released, the contact point is released and the current is interrupted, thus stopping the operation of the appliance.
The 3-102-646 Pushbutton Switch is an ideal choice for applications where reliability and ease of use are important. The switch is capable of withstanding multiple cycles of operation without significant performance decreases, making it a great choice for machines and equipment that require a dependable operation. Furthermore, the switch is highly resistant to water and dust and has a long life expectancy, making it a great choice for applications that require a reliable and durable switch operation.
