Toggle Switches

Bulk of the components used in electrical and electronic engineering are Toggle Switches. A toggle switch is an electrical component that controls the flow of electric current by using an electrically operated switch. Toggle switches can be found in most electronic equipment, including automobiles, computers and home appliances. In this article we will discuss the 7208MDAV2BE toggle switch application field and its working principle.

7208MDAV2BE Application Field

The 7208MDAV2BE toggle switch from MEC Switches is widely used in industrial applications and home appliances. The switch is UL certified for safety and is widely used for on/off control of AC motors, power transformers, compressors, and other industrial applications. It is also used for other purposes such as controlling household appliances like fans, freezers, heating and cooling systems, refrigerators, lighting fixtures and more. This switch also works with a variety of automation processes, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers.

Working Principle

The 7208MDAV2BE toggle switch is based on a two-wire system that controls the flow of electric current. The switch consists of two cables, one carrying power and the other the load. The power cable is connected to the toggle switch’s AC (Alternating Current) terminal, and the load cable is connected to the toggle switch’s DC (Direct Current) terminal. When the switch is in the “On” position, each of the corresponding wires is energized and the switch will pass electric current to the load. When the switch is in the “Off” position, the corresponding wires are de-energized and the switch will not pass any electric current to the load.

Each of the electrical connections are made with a setscrew and the switch is set for either alternating current or direct current control in the factory. The switch is also equipped with silver contacts for reliable and trouble free operation with a life exceeding 500,000 operations.

Conclusion

The 7208MDAV2BE toggle switch from MEC Switches is an ideal choice for controlling AC motors, power transformers, compressors, and other industrial applications. It can also be used to control household appliances. The switch is based on a two-wire system that controls the flow of electric current, and is equipped with silver contacts for reliable and trouble free operation with a life exceeding 500,000 operations.
