7205B

Toggle switches are designed to give control over the flow of power through a single unit. They are used to switch power on and off in one specific area, opening and closing a circuit. They come in a variety of types and sizes, and use different technologies to switch the power from one circuit to another. One of the most commonly used toggle switches is the 7205B.

The 7205B is a Type I toggle switch, meaning that it is a single pole, single throw switch. It is a miniature, single-pole, one-position, momentary contact toggle switch, designed to switch current up to two amps in open circuits. The switch casing is black thermoplastic, with the handle and bushing being made of zinc plated steel. It has a fitted plunger and terminal which, when actuated, opens and closes the circuit.

These toggle switches are used in many applications, both across industries and as a solution for repairing or replacing existing switches. The 7205B has been used in applications such as: test equipment, medical equipment, light dimmers, appliances, and communication equipment. The switch has also become popular for automotive, including in dashboards, and for applications that require high-voltage repairs or installations, due to its simple wiring and easy installation.

The 7205B toggle switch works by having a spring-type plunger, which is actuated through a lever and connected to a terminal. When the plunger is actuated, it allows the power to move from the terminal to the rest of the circuit. This operates on the “open and close” principle, whereby power is passed through the switch in one direction, then shut off in the other direction.

Toggle switches are often used in applications where pace and power are an issue. This is because they are easy to operate, require minimal man-power, and provide a consistent level of power. Additionally, many toggle switches, such as the 7205B, are designed to help reduce the risk of overloads and other potential electrical issues.

In conclusion, the 7205B toggle switch is a Type I device and is used for switching current up to two amps in open circuits. It is a single-pole, one-position, momentary contact toggle switch. This switch is commonly used in medical, automotive, and communication equipment. It works on the principle of open and close, whereby power is passed in one direction, then shut off in the other.
