MB2011SD3G01

Pushbutton switches are used to designate a specific function when pressed, and MB2011SD3G01 is a versatile example of these switches. With its ability to toggle among four different positions and its rating of 10A at 125/250VAC, this switch is perfectly suited to a wide range of applications such as control panels, audio-visual equipment, motor control, and lighting systems.

The MB2011SD3G01 is a 3-position, double-break momentary switch that includes a 30° angle of actuation. When the lever is pressed, it repeatedly opens and closes two electrical circuits simultaneously, creating a short-lived connection with each contact. This produces an "ON-OFF-ON" action when the lever is depressed, activated and released.

When the lever is moved to the left or right and held in that position, it trips a pair of pins that open and close the respective circuits; allowing direct control of a circuit without having to "flip" a lever. This feature also makes this switch useful for applications that require a precise momentary action. When the lever is released, it "springs" back to its original position, resetting the switch.

Since it is important to the successful operation of the switch, the mechanical design of the MB2011SD3G01 should also be discussed. This switch has a metal body and two moulded plastic bezels, which not only styles the look but provides a simple to mount design. The metal body also offers a degree of protection from dust, dirt, and moisture, as well as protection from vibration, which makes this switch suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications.

The MB2011SD3G01 is also a simple to maintain switch, with its snap action mechanism needing no lubrication, and springs rated at 50000 cycles under maximum rated current. Together, these features make this switch ideal for use in many applications where reliability, low maintenance, and long life are important.
