Snap Action, Limit Switches – T2008-11TM Application Field and Working Principle

T2008-11TM, manufactured by TE Connectivity (formerly Airpax), is a thermally actuated snap action, limit switch. It combines a rugged design with advanced features, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications, from medical equipment to HVAC systems. The switch is available in both single-pole and double-pole configurations, and provides a reliable electrical isolation for the circuit it is controlling. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the T2008-11TM.

Application Field

The T2008-11TM is designed to provide reliable, accurate, and dependable switching control in a wide variety of applications. It can be used in a variety of fields ranging from medical equipment and HVAC systems, to industrial controls and electrical power measurements. It is suitable for use in applications where it is used to control the operation of motors, fans, compressors, pumps, valves, and other electrical components. The switch is also suitable for use in hazardous locations, as it is certified for use in Class I, Div 2 environments.

The switch is easy to install and provides an electrical limit switch that can be used in most applications. Because of its reliable and accurate design, it is suitable for use in control systems that require a low power load. The switch also features a built-in Trip Delay, which reduces the possibility of system errors.

Working Principle

The T2008-11TM switch uses a snap-action mechanism to activate the electrical limit switch. When the switch is activated, a thermal actuator (made of an alloy called Alloy C, an alloy of copper and nickel) expands and contacts the switch, causing an electric current to flow through the switch. The current then activates the switch, and the contacts open or close depending on the application.

The switch can be set up with a range of trip delays to ensure that the switch will respond to electrical power surges or overloads in a timely manner. The switch is designed to close the contacts quickly when the power is applied, and open the contacts at a set rate when the power is removed. This ensures that the switch will provide proper control of the connected electrical components.

Conclusion

The T2008-11TM is a reliable and accurate snap action, limit switch suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from medical equipment to HVAC systems. It features a rugged design, an easy-to-install design, and a built-in Trip Delay that ensures a reliable and accurate operation of electrical components. It is perfect for use in a variety of control systems and a great choice for controlling the operation of motors, fans, compressors, pumps, valves, and other electrical components.
