7208P3Y9CQE

Toggle switches are a type of switch that allows users to interact with a device in a physical manner. Toggle switches can be single pole, double pole, or multi-pole with multiple throws, which are powered and activated by an operator. The 7208P3Y9CQE is a double-pole, triple-throw (DPTT) latching switch. It is a type of toggle switch, meaning that it has an on/off/on state and, when thrown, will remain in that position.

Applications

The 7208P3Y9CQE is designed for a variety of applications across a wide range of industries. It is used for industrial control applications such as motors, pumps and HVAC systems. It is also used in consumer applications such as home appliance controls and audio/visual equipment. The switch is often used in automotive applications such as windows, headlights, and hazard lights.

It is also used in audio/visual applications such as cable, satellite and radio receivers. It is also used in medical devices such as respirators, biopsy devices, and electric wheelchairs. Additionally, it can be used in residential and commercial environmental automation systems.

Working Principle

The switch is a double-pole, triple-throw (DPTT) latching switch, meaning that it has an on/off/on state, and once thrown, will remain in that position. The switch features two slider actuators that are pushed in opposite directions to turn the switch on and the other off. To actuate the switch, the operator manually presses one of the two buttons. The switch uses a toggle lever that moves the contacts between on and off. This action allows the current to flow uninterrupted through the electrical device.

Once the lever is released, the contacts remain in their current position and the switch can not be turned off until the lever is pressed again. The switch uses a unique design to ensure reliable operation. The two slider actuators are mounted on a single lever that prevents excessive force from entering the switch, ensuring a reliable operation over extended periods of time.

The switch is designed for long life and is rated for a 12V DC operation with a current rating of 3A. It has a contact resistance of less than 10 mOhms and an insulation resistance of greater than 100 Mohms. The switch has a temperature range of -20 to +85 Degrees Celsius and an operating life of more than 100,000 cycles.
