A11KP-AB

Toggle Switches

A11KP-AB is a type of toggle switch consisting of a lever mechanism to control a selection, most commonly between two positions. The A11KP-AB is a spring-loaded toggle switch with a one-piece assembly. It is used primarily in industrial applications and comes in many configurations, including on/off, momentary contact, maintained contact, and center off.

Application Field

The A11KP-AB is common in industrial applications where it is used to control motors and other devices. It is often used in harsh environments, as it is designed to be resistant to temperature change, shock, dust, and moisture. It is also often used in control cabins and panels where an operator can manually control equipment. In addition, it is often used in recreational applications such as electric golf carts, racing cars, and electric scooters.

Working Principle

When the toggle switch is turned on, the lever moves from the OFF position to the ON position, which connects the contacts inside the switch. This allows electric current to flow to the device that is being controlled. When the switch is turned off, the lever moves back to the OFF position, which opens the contact points and disconnects the electric current.

The A11KP-AB also has a momentary position, which is also referred to as the “center off” position. This position allows a device to be momentarily turned on, such as a pump or a motor, while the lever is still in the OFF position. When the lever is released, the switch moves back to the OFF position.

The A11KP-AB is designed to be durable and reliable, and it has a long service life due to its low contact resistance and good insulation. It also has a high switching capacity, making it a suitable choice for heavy-duty applications.
