Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are a type of electrical switch that open and close a circuit by physically flipping a lever or pushing a button. They are commonly used in residential and industrial applications to control circuits, machines and other systems. The 7408TPZBE is a specific type of toggle switch that is designed to meet a variety of electrical application requirements.

Applications

The 7408TPZBE is an On/Off toggle switch with a double-break, single-pole structure. It is designed for use in dry, non-explosive environments with operating temperature ranges from -20 to 85 degrees Celsius, and can be operated in temperatures up to 105 degrees Celsius for short periods of time. The 7408TPZBE is commonly used in industrial automation and motor control applications, as well as residential lighting systems and automotive electronics. The switch can be wired in series, parallel or combination circuits and provides a one million cycle mechanical and electrical life.

Working Principle

The 7408TPZBE switch operates on a simple principle. When the toggle is in the "On" position the switch contacts close, allowing current to run through the circuit. When the toggle is in the "Off" position, the switch contacts open, breaking the circuit. The switch is designed to have a high contact force, ensuring a reliable electrical connection when in the "On" position. The switch also has an integral dust cover to protect the contacts from dust and dirt.

Conclusion

The 7408TPZBE toggle switch is a reliable and versatile switch designed for a variety of applications. Its simple on/off operation allows it to be used in a variety of circuits and machines. Its high contact force ensures a reliable and safe connection when in the "On" position, and the integral dust cover helps to prevent dust and dirt from entering the contacts.
