ET115E-Z

Toggle switches allow for an electrical current to run through a circuit due to an open or closed path. The ET115E-Z toggle switch is a large format switch with a wide range of applications and options. To understand the ET115E-Z toggle switch and its uses, it is necessary to understand its construction, working principles, and applications.

Construction

The ET115E-Z switch is a single-pole, double throw switch. It is constructed from insulating plastic and metal. The contacts are made from silver-plated copper and a black insulating plastic. The contact material is resistant to oxidation and does not require maintenance or cleaning. The movable part of the ET115E-Z switch is mounted onto a base and secured in place with two screws. The base has two prongs that contact the two stationary contacts when the movable part is pressed. The contact ratings of the ET115E-Z are rated at 6A, 125VAC.

Working Principle

The ET115E-Z uses a mechanical lever that connects two stationary electrical contacts. When the lever is moved, the two contacts connect or disconnect depending on the motion of the lever. This is how the ET115E-Z functions as a switch: when the lever is pushed, the contacts are disconnected, which interrupts the flow of electricity. When the lever is released, the contacts reconnect and the flow of electricity resumes.

Application Fields

The ET115E-Z switch is suitable for a variety of applications, from low voltage to high voltage. It is commonly used in home appliances and electrical motor controls. It is also used in industrial applications, such as controlling machinery, power tools and lighting systems. In automotive applications, it is used to control car electronics, such as audio systems, wipers, and heating and ventilation.

The robust construction and simple design of the ET115E-Z toggle switch makes it a cost-effective and reliable solution for a variety of electrical and automotive applications. Its wide range of applications and contact ratings make it a versatile and reliable choice.
