Toggle switches are commonly used in low current and low voltage applications. A common type of switch is the 7411L3YZQE3, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch.
The main components of a toggle switch are the toggle lever and the base, where a set of contacts is connected to the lever. The purpose of the toggle switch is to make or break the circuit that is connected to the contacts. When the toggle lever is in the OFF position, the contacts are open and no current flows in the circuit. When the toggle lever is in the ON position, the contacts are closed and current flows through the circuit.
The toggle switch 7411L3YZQE3 is a general purpose switch with a 0.1 Amp (100 mA) rating for use in low current applications. The assembly housing is made of a lightweight plastic material, with the contacts and toggle securely mounted in place. The switch is UL and CSA approved, and offers sealed design with a choice of momentary, maintained and alternate action operations.
The 7411L3YZQE3 utilizes a lever with a specially designed cam to move the contacts back and forth. As the lever is moved, the contacts move with it, opening and closing the circuit. The toggle switch also contains a spring that helps to keep the lever in position and prevent the contacts from bouncing back and forth. The switch is designed to be used with an external spring to keep the contacts from over-traveling when it is thrown.
The 7411L3YZQE3 can be used in a variety of applications, including low current lighting, heating and air conditioning, automotive systems and control panels. The switch can be used with both AC and DC current, and is ideal for applications where a simple, reliable control method is needed.
An additional feature of the 7411L3YZQE3 is that it has a built in overload protection feature. This feature is designed to protect the contacts by disconnecting the load if the switch overloads or shorts out. This feature adds additional safety to the application, as it prevents unwanted circuit overloads.
The 7411L3YZQE3 toggle switch is a robust and reliable switch for low current and low voltage applications. The built-in overload protection feature provides additional safety, and the UL/CSA approval provides assurance of quality and performance. With its versatility, the switch is ideal for applications where a reliable, simple control method is needed.
