Toggle Switches: 64AT11-1L Application Field and Working Principle

Toggle switches are part of a large variety of complex electromechanical devices used in nearly all industrial and commercial products. They are used to control the flow of electrical current in systems ranging from appliances to industrial machinery. Further, they are used to remotely control a variety of functions such as circuit protection, power regulation, and signal transmissions. The 64AT11-1L toggle switch is made of durable nylon plastic and has a large terminal for high current applications in power protection.

The 64AT11-1L toggle switch is a DPST (Double Pole, Single Throw) type switch, meaning it has two separate electrical contacts connected to one actuator, or toggle. The external toggle can be moved between one of two positions. Typically, it is a momentary type switch, meaning that once released the toggle returns to its original position.

The primary application field of the 64AT11-1L toggle switch is in power protection, where it can be used to manage incoming power on a single line. The switch is small and has a collapsible actuator for easy on/off access. It is rated for up to 250VAC/15A and 125VAC/30A for its two separate contacts, making it useful for small network equipment such as routers, alarm systems, and industrial machinery.

In its functioning form, the 64AT11-1L toggle switch has a single toggle, or actuator, located on the external faceplate. When closed, the two internal contacts are connected, and an electrical connection is established. When opened, the internal electrical connection is broken, and the link is severed. This two-position mechanism is used for the primary functions of a single-pole switch, such as on-off operation or power regulation.

The 64AT11-1L toggle switch also has a wide variety of mounting options. Available in a panel mount design, it can be connected directly to a circuit board or panel with the included mounting screws. The necessary panel-mount holes are right on the switch, which simplifies panel installations by saving time and effort in finding and drilling the necessary holes.

The 64AT11-1L toggle switch provides a reliable method of controlling individul and multiple electronic devices through a single switch. It is rugged and robust, and the mounting options are designed to be easy to install and use. Further, this toggle switch is safe for both indoor and outdoor applications, should the need arise.
