M2042TYW02 Datasheet/PDFRocker switches are a type of momentary switch that can be used for a variety of applications in a wide range of environments. A rocker switch typically has two independent contacts and requires a pressing force to open or close the contacts. The M2042TYW02 rocker switch is a commonly used switch that is designed for a variety of power switching applications. Its construction is designed to ensure contact integrity over a wide range of operating conditions.
The M2042TYW02 rocker switch has two main components - the actuator and contact plate. The actuator is typically made of an anodized aluminum housing and includes a rocker arm, contact plate, and internal spring. The contact plate is composed of a metal alloy that is designed to hold its form and shape, even under high load forces. The rocker arm of the switch is used to open or close the contacts on the contact plate.
The operating principle of the M2042TYW02 rocker switch is based on the pressure applied to the rocker arm. When no pressure is applied, the two contacts remain open. Applying pressure to the rocker arm moves the actuator, which in turn moves the contact plate, closing the two contacts together. Releasing the pressure will cause the contact plate to move back to its original position, opening the contacts.
The M2042TYW02 rocker switch is designed for use in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings for controlling power to machinery and equipment. It is also frequently used in automotive, medical, and other applications where precision control of power is needed. In addition, the M2042TYW02 is also suitable for use in areas where high temperatures are expected, as its construction includes a temperature resistance rating of 155°C.
The M2042TYW02 rocker switch is an ideal solution for switching power in a wide range of applications. Its construction and operation are designed to ensure contact integrity and provide precise control of power. Its temperature resistance rating ensures reliability even in extreme conditions, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments.
