7415P3Y1CGE Datasheet/PDFToggle switches are one of the most commonly used switch-on/switch-off devices in electronic circuits, and the 7415P3Y1CGE is no exception. The 7415P3Y1CGE is a three-pole single-throw (SPST) toggle switch and is specifically suitable for use in hostile environments due to its reliable operation and long life expectancy.
Application Field
The 7415P3Y1CGE is designed for power applications requiring high power handling capacity, such as charging systems, horn systems, and starter circuits. The switch is rated for a current of up to 16A and a voltage of up to 300VAC, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the switch is designed to withstand shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, which extends its durability in applications used in harsh environments.
Typical applications include heavy duty vehicles, marine, and transportation instrument systems, medical equipment, audio systems, and consumer electronic equipment.
Working Principle
The 7415P3Y1CGE toggle switch is equipped with silver-nickel plated terminals, dustproof seal and a silver-plated copper movable contact, providing reliable electrical connections. The switch is operated by a three-position toggle lever which is locked in the OFF and ON positions by strong detent action. The intermediate position of the lever is unlocked, allowing the lever to be switched from the OFF to ON or from the ON to OFF position.
The switch body is made of robust plastic and is designed to withstand vibrations and shocks. Additionally, the switch is moisture-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use. The switch is also equipped with a visible light indicator, which provides the user with feedback on the switch position.
The switch body is provided with two mounting holes in the side flange, ensuring secure installation and easy replacement in case of failure.
Conclusion
The 7415P3Y1CGE toggle switch is an excellent choice for applications requiring reliable switch-on/switch-off operations in hostile environments. The switch is designed for applications handling up to 16A and 300VAC and is built to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. It is suitable for heavy duty vehicles, marine, and transportation instrument systems, medical equipment, audio systems, and consumer electronic equipment.
