Toggle switches are extremely popular and are used in many applications where an operator has to control position of a machine, such as in garage door automation or industrial automation systems. They are also used in applications where it is necessary to switch electricity from two separate sources. This article will discuss the 34ASP12B1M2RT and its application field, as well as its working principle.

What is a 34ASP12B1M2RT Toggle Switch?

The 34ASP12B1M2RT toggle switch is a double-pole, single-throw (DPST) switch from ATC Diversified Electronics. The series is offered in two versions: a maintained-on type and a maintained-off type, both with an LED illumination feature.

The DPST version of the 34ASP12B1M2RT, with UL ratings of 5 A @ 250 VAC (MA-5A) and 10 A at 250 VAC (MA-10A) power ratings on the common terminal, provides electrical isolation between its two circuits. The switch features internal snubbers and quick-connect terminals, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable long-term switching capabilities.

Applications of 34ASP12B1M2RT Toggle Switch

The 34ASP12B1M2RT toggle switch is suitable for a variety of switch and control applications, such as automatic door openers, liquid level controllers, light switches, and manual override controls. It is also used in medical devices, vending machines, and various consumer and industrial electromechanical products. It is also appropriate for switching power to multiple circuits from a single source.

Working Principle of 34ASP12B1M2RT Toggle Switch

A toggle switch is a type of electrical switch which is usually operated by mechanical lever or rocker movement. When the switch is operated, it either closes the circuit to make an electrical connection, or opens the circuit to break the connection. Toggle switches are popular because they are simple and provide a visual indication of their position.

The 34ASP12B1M2RT toggle switch is a DPST switch, meaning it uses a single pole to control two separate connectable points. An actuator mounted in the center of the switch can be moved between two positions, either closing or opening both circuits. The switch is designed to operate based on the actuator’s position and the accompanying LED will illuminate when the switch is in the “on” position.

The 34ASP12B1M2RT is a maintained-on type switch, which means that the switch will remain in its last switched position until the actuator is manually moved to the opposite position, regardless of power being applied to the device. This is useful for applications that require a switch to remain in one position for a certain amount of time, such as devices that perform certain tasks and require a set-it-and-forget-it switch.

Conclusion

The 34ASP12B1M2RT toggle switch is an excellent choice for any application that requires reliable mechanical switching capabilities. This switch comes in two versions, a maintained-on type and a maintained-off type, and is rated to handle up to 10A of power, making it perfect for many home, industrial and commercial applications. Additionally, the switch’s LED illumination feature provides a visual indication of its position, making it easy to identify when the switch is on or off.
