Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are a type of mechanically operated switch used to control circuits and operate electrical devices. It is one of the most commonly used switches in electronics, manufactured in a variety of styles and configurations. Toggle switches are popular in smaller electronic devices, from computers to telephones, because of their relatively low cost and relatively high reliability.

7303SPCWZ3QE application field and working principle

The 7303SPCWZ3QE toggle switch is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) illuminated toggle switch. This toggle switch is an On-Off switch, meaning that it can only be switched between two positions that are either open or closed. The On position is illuminated by an LED, which is activated when the switch is flipped Up.

The 7303SPCWZ3QE toggle switches can be used to control low voltage, low current applications such as LED lighting, automotive audio and other home appliances. It is also commonly used in industrial control panels, entertainment lighting and sound systems.

The 7303SPCWZ3QE toggle switch has a standard electrical rating of 6A at 125V AC. It is capable of switching both AC and DC circuits and has an electrical life of 10,000 cycles.

Toggle switches function by changing the connection between two components within an electrical circuit. This is done by flipping the switch lever up and down. When the flip arm is in the “on” position, it connects the two components to form a complete circuit, allowing current to flow. When the lever is flipped in the opposite direction, the connection between the two components is broken, and no current can flow through the circuit.

The 7303SPCWZ3QE toggle switch is designed to be used in a variety of applications, such as home appliances, industrial control panels, entertainment lighting and sound systems. It is also resistant to moisture due to its UL 94V-0 rating, meaning that it can be safely used in wet environments.
