D22013LP

Toggle switches is an electronic switch that is manually operated by a mechanical lever, handle, rocker or paddle. It provides a simple and reliable control of the circuit. The D22013LP is an ideal toggle switch for applications in residential and commercial products requiring an on/off action.

The D22013LP series is a 3-position single pole, double throw toggle switch that provides positive detented operation. With a maximum power rating of 5A at 125V AC and operating temperature range up to 80°C, the D22013LP is a rugged and reliable switch solution. It comes with a black actuator and a red OFF position dot.

The D22013LP series is generally used in residential and commercial products such as electric appliance, household wiring, circuits-interruption, monitoring, security and other applications.

The working principle of a toggle switch can be explained simply. It has a small metal piece that acts as an actuator. It is secured in its active position by a spring and can be moved in either direction. When the switch is in its active position, it connects the terminals and connects the switch to the power source. The toggle switch is then activated when the actuator is moved from its resting position, either to the “on” position or the “off” position, depending on the type of toggle switch.

When the switch is in its inactive position, the contacts of the switch are open and the circuit is not completed. When the toggle switch is in its active position, the contacts of the switch are then closed and the circuit is completed. Once the circuit is completed, the power flows to the device or load that is connected to the switch.

Overall, the D22013LP series offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for customers needing a positive detented toggle switch with a rating of 5A at 125V AC and a temperature range up to 80°C. The mechanical and electrical properties provide an ideal switch for the consumer markets of residential and commercial products. The simple operating principle of a toggle switch and its low cost make it a highly attractive switch for many applications.
