46-BA2-NAO

46-BA2-NAO Application Field and Working Principle

46-BA2-NAO is a type of panel indicator and pilot light that is widely used in consumer and commercial electronics products, as well as in industrial control systems. It is available in two main variants; single-pole, and double-pole. The single-pole variant of 46-BA2-NAO consists of two terminals, while the double-pole one has four terminals.

Application Field

The 46-BA2-NAO panel indicator is generally used in commercial, consumer, and industrial applications. It is typically used with electrical and electronic products, circuit boards, and control panels. In commercial applications, the indicator is used for lighting, indicating whether a switch is on or off. In consumer electronics, the indicator is generally used to indicate the status of a device. In industrial control systems, the indicator can be used for a variety of functions, including showing the status of an industrial machine, such as whether it is running or not.

Working Principle

The working principle of 46-BA2-NAO is based on two terminals, which are connected to a light source. When a voltage is applied to the two terminals, a current flows through the light source, activating the indicator. Depending on the model, the indicator can be activated through a single- or double-pole connection. Single-pole connection is used when the application requires indication of whether the machine is running or not. For double-pole connection, the two terminals are connected to two power sources, and the indicator will be activated when one of the power sources is switched on. The working principle of the indicator can also be modified by using resistors and current-limiting resistors.

Advantages

The key benefit of using the 46-BA2-NAO panel indicator is that it is an inexpensive solution for indication. In addition, due to its low power consumption, it is ideal for applications requiring a long life span. It is also very easy to install, as it only requires two terminals for connection. Lastly, it is able to operate in a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to 65°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments.
