IPC3SAD3

Pushbutton switches are an incredibly versatile component used in a variety of electronic circuits and appliances. The IPC3SAD3 is one of the most common pushbutton switches. It is a single side, double pole single throw (SPST) pushbutton switch that offers a wide range of application fields and working principles.

The IPC3SAD3 is most commonly used for basic on/off switch functions in a variety of applications such as panel controls, security systems, automotive controls and appliances. The switch is designed for short-term repetitive actuation and it is available in both surface mount and through-hole package types. It has a contact rated electrical current of 2A (at 30V DC) and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C.

The IPC3SAD3 uses momentary contact type of switches. This means that the switch is actuated only when it is held in the on position. Once released, the switch returns to the off position. This makes the switch ideal for manual switching applications such as alarm systems, automotive controls, and light dimmers.

The IPC3SAD3 also has a variety of protection features. The switch is rated IP65 protection level which means that it is dust-tight and it is also rated NEMA-7 which means it is able to withstand the rigors of harsh industrial environments. The switch also offers surge protection up to 6,000V, making it an ideal choice for projects that may be exposed to surges.

The IPC3SAD3 also offers a wide range of application fields such as lighting control, industrial process control, access control, automotive applications, security systems and medical equipment. The switch can be used in tandem with any microcontroller or processor, making it ideal for applications that require precise control. The switch can also be configured for multiple functions if required.

The working principle of the IPC3SAD3 is quite simple. The switch contains two metal contacts that are separated by a spring-loaded plunger. When the plunger is actuated, the two contacts touch, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow. When the plunger is released, the spring pushes the two contacts apart, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current.

The IPC3SAD3 is an incredibly versatile, reliable and cost-effective switch with a wide range of applications, protection features and working principles. It is an ideal choice for any application that needs a dependable pushbutton switch.
