7201L40HZ3QE

Toggle switches are a type of switch that, in their most basic form, use a lever type MOV (metal oxide varistor) actuator, to open and close a circuit by mechanically moving two contacts together and/or apart. Toggle switches are typically used in applications where a single switch is all that is needed to open or close a circuit. The 7201L40HZ3QE is a toggle switch, designed to offer reliable switching performance in harsh environments.

The 7201L40HZ3QE is a robust, mechanically strong toggle switch that is ideal for use in military, commercial, and industrial applications. The switch has a hermetically sealed construction and is designed to be resistant to shock and vibration, making it well-suited for use in marine and industrial applications. The switch has an IP54 rating, making it dust-tight and splash proof.

The 7201L40HZ3QE toggle switch operates on a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch configuration, which is capable of switching up to 40 amps of AC or DC current at an input voltage of 125 to 250VAC/48-250VDC. The switch has an operating temperature range of -25°C to + 85°C and is available with a choice of silver or gold plated contact finishes. The switch is rated for an electrical life of 10,000 operations and has a mechanical life of 500,000 operations at full load conditions.

The 7201L40HZ3QE has a wide range of applications, particularly in industrial and marine applications. It can be used in a variety of switching applications, such as motor power control, light switching, and process control. The 7201L40HZ3QE is also well suited for use in switched-mode power supplies as it is capable of switching large currents quickly and accurately.

The working principle of the 7201L40HZ3QE toggle switch is quite simple. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, the contacts of the switch are physically separated, ensuring the circuit is open. When the switch is in the “ON” position, the lever is mechanically moved, thus bringing the contacts together and completing the circuit. The switch stays in the “ON” position when the lever is held in place, as the contacts remain physically in contact.

The 7201L40HZ3QE toggle switch is a reliable, durable switch that is well-suited for use in harsh environments. The switch offers superior switching performance and is ideal for a wide range of applications, from motor power control to switched-mode power supplies. The switch operates on the simple principle of physically separating and connecting the contacts, allowing it to open and close the circuit quickly and accurately.
