ST11KMZBE

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are an important component of many devices, as they help regulate current flow, enabling and disabling different functions. This article will discuss the ST11KMZBE application field and working principle.

Applications and Characteristics

The ST11KMZBE toggle switch has a wide range of applications for direct current and alternating current up to 10A AC phases, such as low-voltage circuits, high-voltage circuits, and electromagnetic control, as well as for industrial control and civil use. ST11KMZBE has a long lifespan, high dielectric strength, and low contact resistance.

Working Principle

When a voltage is applied to the switch, an electric charge is generated in the toggle button. This force is then transferred via a switch lever to an output, which can be either ‘on’ or ‘off’ depending on the orientation of the toggle switch. The relationship between the input voltage, the electric strength, and the output condition define the working principle of the toggle switch.

Designs

ST11KMZBE has two main designs, one with two positions and one with three positions. The two positions toggle switch has two terminals in which one is connected to its base and the other connecting a live circuit. Inside the switch, when the toggle is pressed, an electrical completion is created that closes the circuit and allows the current to flow. The three positions toggle switch has three positions: Off, On, and Neutral. The current can be adjusted to the three positions by using different combinations of the toggle levers.

Conclusion

The ST11KMZBE is a commonly used toggle switch that is useful for controlling current for multiple applications. It can handle both direct and alternating current, has a long lifespan, and features two or three switch positions. It is important to understand the working principle and design of the switch to ensure that it is properly applied.
