Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are common electrical components that allow for an electric circuit to be completed or broken, allowing for the flow of electricity through the device when the toggle switch is in the "on" position.

The 7101L3YZQE3 is a type of toggle switch which is actuated using a latching mechanism. It is a three-position, single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. It has two toggle positions (“on” and “off”), and a third transitory position (center). When moving from one position to another, the toggle switch must be flipped back and forth to activate the circuit. In the center position the circuit is open, interrupting the flow of electricity.

The 7101L3YZQE3 toggle switch has any applications where the switching action needs to be easily visible or where it is appropriate to have a physical representation of the switch\'s position, such as in light switches, electrical appliances, and medical devices. The switch also finds application in commercial and industrial applications, including data networks and security systems, automotive circuitry and electronic test equipment.

The working principle of the 7101L3YZQE3 toggle switch is based on the use of a latching mechanism, which means that it is activated by pushing the toggle button. The toggle button is moved back and forth, allowing for the flow of electricity through the device, when in the "on" position, and for the interruption of the flow of electricity when in the "off" position. When the toggle is in the center, it is in the transitory position, and the circuit remains open, interrupting the flow of electricity. Additionally, this toggle switch is available in a variety of mountings and handle styles and is suitable for use in industrial and domestic environments.
