AML23GBC2AA04

Toggle switches are common devices found in a variety of settings. The AML23GBC2AA04 is a subminiature toggle switch with a double throw (DT) operation. It offers multiple termination options, a variety of contact material, and low-power contact actuation and minimal space requirements, making it suitable for a range of applications.

The AML23GBC2AA04 is a three-pole, single-throw (SPDT) type of toggle switch suitable for the control of low-power electrical components such as fans and motors. Its SPST design allows for a single set of contacts to act as two separate sets of switches, negating the need for an extra set of contacts. The 0.1" pitch leads enable it to be easily mounted in board space and its small size also increases its portability.

The toggle switch is constructed with a single-piece PBT thermoplastic housing. The thermoplastic material provides good heat resistance, high strength and an ideal balance of electrical and mechanical properties for long-term reliability. The base is made from metal, providing increased strength and durability. The electrical contact material is copper or silver, depending on the application need. This contact material provides good corrosion resistance and excellent electrical conductivity.

The toggle switch is available with a variety of lever options. Lever angle of the toggle switch can range from 45° to 90° depending on the application needs. The lever can also be extended to provide easier accessibility. Other lever options include a lockable lever, an electrical actuation lever and an illuminated lever.

The toggle switch is suitable for use with a wide range of DC and AC circuits. The contacts are rated for a minimum current/voltage of 0.1A/ 50V or 0.3A/ 30V, depending on the contact material. The contact resistance is typically a low <10 mΩ, ensuring that the switch will have minimal loading on the connected circuit.

The toggle switch can be used in a variety of applications such as controlling motors, fans, and lights. The switch can also be used in security and emergency stopping applications. Its small size and multiple lever options make it ideal for use in space-constrained environments, such as control panels, instrumentation panels, and gaming consoles.

The working principle of the AML23GBC2AA04 toggle switch is relatively straightforward. When the lever is in its resting position, the switch is in its normal (off) state. When the lever is moved to its other position, the switch is turned ON, closing the connection and allowing current to flow through the contacts.
