700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK

Pushbutton switches are no strangers to the modern home. Whether empowering a simple light switch to control your home lighting system, or in intricate electronics needing a sequence of steps to unlock complex functions, pushbutton switches allow you to control the world without having to reach out and physically flick a switch. That duty has been delegated to your fingers - pressing a button. When it comes to a complex switch such as the 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK however, the situation requires a better understanding of what it does and how it works. Let us take a look at the 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK application field and working principle.

Application field

The 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK is a two-pole pushbutton switch manufactured by TE Connectivity, and has a Power Rating of 10A@125VAC. It acts as a two-pole on-off switch, meaning the connection is completely separated between the two actuators, ensuring a three-way switching setup. The switch has four positions: on-off-on, off-on-off, on-off with momentary-on or on-on with momentary-off. Paired with a wide variety of mounting accessories, the switch can be seamlessly integrated into various electronic and electrical systems. This model is waterproof, as it features a water-resistant rubber seal at the base of the switch, allowing for it to be used in wet or humid environments and is fastened to the device through a rear terminal.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK is quite simple. When the button is pressed, an internal switch closes the circuits and electricity passes between the poles through the two actuators. The actuators remain open until the button is pressed, at which point the contacts close and electricity is allowed to flow between the two circuits.

A single pole may often be used to switch off a single item such as a light, while a double pole switch, like the 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK, may be used to switch more complicated systems. This is because both circuits in the double pole switch must be switched at the same time, forcing both circuits to go to the same state.

Therefore, regardless of the application for the 700DP7M3QEAP2BLKBLK, users may be assured of reliable performance with low power consumption and maximum switch functionality.
