Construction and Materials:
Built with a combination of metal and plastic components, these switches deliver durability whilst maintaining a compact profile. The metal contact material ensures excellent electrical conductivity and long-term reliability. The sturdy construction makes them suitable for both temporary prototyping and permanent installations.
Electrical Specifications:
Operating at 125 volts AC with a 6-amp current rating, these switches can handle substantial electrical loads safely. The SPDT configuration allows one input to be switched between two outputs, making them ideal for circuit selection, polarity reversal, or A/B switching applications.
Physical Design:
Each switch measures 5.08 cm × 5.08 cm × 0.51 cm, providing a compact solution that fits into tight spaces. The total installed height reaches 33mm when mounted through a panel. A 6mm diameter mounting hole is required for installation, with the package including hex nuts and locking washers for secure mounting.
Switching Configuration:
The 2-position ON/ON design means the switch always maintains a connection – there is no OFF position. This latching-type operation keeps the switch in its selected position until manually moved, providing reliable circuit control without requiring constant pressure.
Terminal Connections:
Featuring screw terminals for secure wire connections, these switches accommodate various wire gauges and provide excellent contact reliability. The three-pin arrangement consists of one common terminal and two output terminals, allowing flexible wiring configurations.
Applications and Versatility:
These switches excel in automotive applications, home electronics projects, workshop equipment, and DIY installations. They're particularly useful for controlling lighting circuits, small motors, audio equipment switching, and electronic component selection. The compact size makes them perfect for control panels, instrument boxes, and portable devices.
Installation Features
Each switch comes with the necessary mounting hardware, including hex nuts and locking washers. The standard 6mm mounting hole requirement makes them compatible with common panel drilling tools and templates.
