MTA106DPC

Toggle Switches

The MTA106DPC is one of the popular types of toggle switches. It is often found in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. When used in these applications, it provides an effective way to switch off or switch on a device or circuit. It is also used in safety applications such as in the medical field.

Features:

• Simple construction
• Low voltage and current protection
• IP rating up to IP54
• Operating Temperature range -20°C to +65°C
• Maximum 10A at 125VAC, 16A at 12V or 24V DC
• Mechanical life: up to 100,000 cycles
• Molded panel mountable or machine mountable

Applications:

The MTA106DPC is used in many applications. It is commonly found in everyday household appliances. These include toaster ovens, microwave ovens, washing machines, dishwashers and clothes dryers. It is also used in light dimmers, thermostats, security systems and motor controls.

Working Principles:

The MTA106DPC is driven by a mechanical toggle action. This action is created when the switch lever is pressed or turned. This causes a metal cam to move inside the switch, which causes the contacts to open or close. The current is interrupted or energized depending on the position of the toggle.

For safety, the MTA106DPC has built-in protection against electrical overvoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent. It has a high dielectric strength and resists mechanical shock and vibration. In addition, it features an LED indicator to show whether the circuit is in an open or closed position.
