S822/U

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches allow users to control a circuit by manually moving a lever. Normally closed, normally open, and changeover toggle switches offer users several different options when it comes to operating their electronic systems. The S822/U toggle switch is a standard type of industrial grade toggle switch, which is commonly used in a range of applications from industrial and commercial contexts to home appliances and DIY projects.

S822/U application field and working principle

The S822/U toggle switch is a miniature circuit breaker with a DIN rail mounted package, which is suitable for applications including motors, pumps, small engines, appliances, and a variety of lighting and other electrical circuits, etc. This toggle switch has a latching manual switch, which needs to be operated manually to turn the circuit on and off, by means of a lever.

The working principle of S822/U toggle switch is quite simple. When the switch lever is set to the ON position, the contacts connect the current flow from the power input to the load, allowing power to be supplied to the device, and the circuit is ON. When the switch lever is set to the OFF position, the contacts will disconnect the power input from the load, and the circuit is OFF.

The S822/U switch is designed with a high quality, insulated, dielectric construction to resist mechanical and electrical abrasion, and to ensure long life, reliable performance. The contact material provides excellent current carrying capacity and low contact resistance, so the switch has a long electrical life and excellent contact stability.

The toggle switch is further fitted with a thermal release mechanism, which will automatically disconnect the switch contacts when the current exceeds the standard rating and the temperature rises above the rated level. This is an effective safety feature, which prevents overheating of the switch contacts potentially caused by overloads.

In conclusion, the S822/U toggle switch provides a reliable, low profile, single-pole, switch solution for a range of applications. It is easy to install, requires minimal maintenance, and features enhanced safety features to protect against electrical overloads.
