M2012SS1W03-BA

Toggle switches have been around for decades, used in a variety of consumer, industrial, and military products. The M2012SS1W03-BA series of toggle switches is designed for use in industrial applications where a high degree of reliability is a necessity. It is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approved and meets CE (Conformité Européenne) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standards.

The M2012SS1W03-BA is a two-position, two-pole, two-position toggle switch. It has a toggle design that is more robust than conventional slide-style switches. The primary feature of this switch is its rocker-style lever. This lever is easy to move and allows for precise positioning when used in combination with its locking mechanism.

The M2012SS1W03-BA has a contact rating of 3A (amps) at 250 VAC (volts AC) or 6A (amps) at 125 VDC (volts DC). It is available in three colors - red, green and yellow – which can be selected based on visibility or aesthetic needs in the application. The contacts are silver-plated and are of high-purity copper for maximum durability. The terminals are designed to accept 32 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire, lending itself to a wide range of uses.

The toggle switch is a single-pole, single-throw switch with a momentary-on/off/momentary-on action. Two terminals make up the switch, with whichever one is depressed becoming the \'on\' position. Upon release, the switch will switch back to the \'off\' position. This toggle switch is designed to handle up to 20,000 mechanical operations and 1,000 electrical operations.

The M2012SS1W03-BA is designed with an in-built safety feature that prevents accidental action in applications where a user is exposed to the switch. This feature is ideal for hazardous environments or for applications that require a high degree of reliability. Additionally, the switch is self-cleaning and features a dust seal to protect it against the ingress of moisture and dust.

The switch is also designed to reduce vibration and shock, making it suitable for applications where that is a concern. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +85°C, meaning that it is suitable for most environmental conditions. The M2012SS1W03-BA is IP66 rated, making it water resistant.

Toggle switches are excellent for use in industrial applications where precision control is desired and a high degree of reliability is required. The M2012SS1W03-BA series is an excellent choice for such applications. Its robust design and construction, combined with its in-built safety features and good resistance to dust, vibration and shock make it a strongly recommended switch for industrial use.
