Toggle switches are one of the most common and familiar types of switches used in electrical applications. Toggle switches are available in different package sizes and amperage ratings, and their voltage ratings range from 12 to 125 volts. They are generally used to control the current flow to a circuit and are used in a variety of applications involving low voltage circuits. An example of a toggle switch is a 3-1825137-1, which is commonly used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military applications and is suitable for a wide range of applications.

A 3-1825137-1 toggle switch is a three pole, single throw (SPST) switch. This switch can be used to switch between two connections or to energize both connections at once. It has an external actuator, or hand switch, which is used to activate the switch. This actuator consists of a metal handle that is pushed or rotated to cause the switch to change its position and make or break the connection. The 3-1825137-1 has a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch which allows you to energize both connections at once. The switch is rated for 20 amps at 125 volts.

The 3-1825137-1 is typically used in applications where the switch needs to switch between two power sources: for example, when switching between two plug points. The toggle switch is also used to control the electrical appliances that are operated using electricity. This can include lights, electric fans, and other electrical appliances. The toggle switch is also commonly used in automation applications, where the switch is used to control motors and other industrial machines.

The working principle of a toggle switch is simple. When the actuator is moved in one direction, it activates the switch and causes the electrical connection to be opened or closed. When the switch is activated, it allows electricity to pass from the source to the other side of the switch. The circuit is then completed when the opposite end of the switch is connected to a resistance element or some other load. This allows the current to flow through the switch, powering the connected device.

The 3-1825137-1 toggle switch is one of the most useful and versatile switches available, offering a wide range of applications and uses. Its ease of use and simple operation make it ideal for use in circuits with low voltages, while its SPDT and SPST contacts make it suitable for many wiring applications. The toggle switch is also available in different package sizes and ratings to suit any application, making it a versatile and reliable choice for many users.
