5646AB

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are used to control and connect circuits or machines. The 5646AB toggle switch is a device designed to provide reliable switching action in power or control circuits. It has common uses in both residential and industrial settings.

The 5646AB toggle switch features a single switch with an operating current of 5-20 amps. This makes it perfect for medium-high power applications such as office equipment, appliances and home automation. It has two positions: ON and OFF. When the switch is ON, the circuit is closed, allowing current to flow. When the switch is OFF, the circuit is open, and current does not flow.

The 5646AB toggle switch also has a momentary-on feature. This allows for momentary application of the current. This is helpful when controlling motors and pumps, because held up circuits can be activated and deactivated quickly. To use the momentary-on feature, the switch must first be turned ON, then the operator must press down on the switch to activate it momentarily. The switch will then automatically turn OFF once the pressure is released.

The appropriate type of wire must be used to properly connect the switch to the circuit. Generally, smaller-gauge, flexible insulation wires are preferred as they are less likely to cause damage. The 5646AB toggle switch is rated up to 125 volts, so it can be used in both low and high voltage applications. Additionally, this type of switch is available with a variety of different mounting styles.

The 5646AB toggle switch is an essential component for many different types of applications. It provides reliable and efficient switching of circuits, and can be used to control low and high voltage applications. With its momentary-on feature, it is perfect for applications such as controlling pumps, motors, and more.
