A227T1TZQ

Toggle switches have been widely used in many fields, as they have simple constructions, are robust, and are relatively low cost. A227T1TZQ are no exception and are a popular choice for applications requiring ON/OFF functions, due to their reliability and easy implementation. The A227T1TZQ toggle switch is a robust electro-mechanically operated (EMO) switch which is commonly used in control and accessory wiring applications, making it a popular choice of many.

Design

The A227T1TZQ’s design is based on a traditional on/off toggle switch, however the structure has been revised and upgraded to provide enhanced performance. The design comprises of a heavy-duty steel housing, with a dust and water resistance rating of IP44. There are two contact barriers which are protected against shock and vibration and include terminals. These contact barriers are highly durable and reliable, and are also made from stainless steel with a high resistance to corrosion. The contact barriers contain a simple switching mechanism, which operates when the toggle switch lever is flipped from one position to another. The toggle switch also features a safety lever and latching mechanism, which ensure that the switch is securely operated and remains in the correct position.

Operation

The A227T1TZQ toggle switch is operated when the user moves the toggle switch lever from one position to another. The switching mechanism is engaged and the contacts are closed when the toggle switch lever is moved to the ‘on’ position. The switch will remain in the ‘on’ position until the user moves the toggle switch lever to the ‘off’ position. When the toggle switch lever is in the ‘off’ position, the contacts are open and no current passes through the switch. The latching mechanism is then engaged to ensure that the switch is securely held in either the ‘on’ or ‘off’ position.

Benefits

One of the most obvious benefits of the A227T1TZQ switch is its high level of durability and reliability. The contact barriers are made from stainless steel, offering a high degree of resistance to vibration, shock and corrosion. The latching mechanism ensures the switch remains in the correct position, offering operators peace of mind. Furthermore, the switch features a dust and water resistance rating of IP44, making it a suitable option for a range of environments. The switch also features a simple installation process, due to its two terminal design, furthering reducing operating times. It is also relatively low cost, making it an appealing choice for cost conscious operators.

Conclusion

The A227T1TZQ toggle switch is a popular choice for many control and accessory wiring applications due to its simplicity, durability, and ease of installation. It is an affordable, robust, and reliable choice of switch, which provides operators with a safe and secure switching option.
