62AT52-3D

Toggle switches are a type of electronic switch that are usually used to turn a circuit or device off or on by manually flipping a lever back and forth. The 62AT52-3D is a toggle switch, and is unique due to its level of rugged construction and the number of configurations the switch can be used in.

Application fields

The 62AT52-3D switch is designed for use in applications where excessive vibration, shock, and prolonged exposure to harsh environments can be expected. It is made of Type 316 stainless steel with a snap-dome actuator in a zinc die-cast housing, making it ideal for use in automotive, construction, transportation, and marine industries. The 3D switch has a variety of operating force levels and lever shapes which allow for customization for different applications and use cases.

Working Principle

The 62AT52-3D switch is a type of momentary switch, meaning it only stays in the on or off position as long as the lever is held in place. When the lever is released, it will spring back to the off position. This feature allows for quick, safe operation when the user needs to power-up a device for a short period of time before shutting it off again. Inside the switch is a set of two contacts connected to each other when the lever is engaged. When the lever is in the off position, the contacts are separated so no current is able to flow through. The contacts are connected when the lever is engaged, allowing current to flow through.

Conclusion

The 62AT52-3D toggle switch is a rugged, versatile switch that is ideal for use in harsh environments and in applications where quick power control is necessary. Its unique design and construction make it ideal for use in a variety of industries, and the wide range of operation forces and lever shapes make it customizable for almost any use case. With its momentary function, it is designed for quick, safe operation.
