Do You Know The Precautions For Toggle Switches?
Dec 15, 2022
The toggle switch is used to turn the circuit on or off by flipping the switch handle to achieve the purpose of switching the circuit. The commonly used varieties of toggle switches are unipolar two-position, unipolar three-position, bipolar two-position and bipolar three-position, etc. It is generally used in low-voltage circuits, and has the characteristics of flexible slider action, stable and reliable performance, and toggle switch. Mainly widely used in: various instruments/meters equipment, various electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical equipment, beauty equipment, and other fields of electronic products. Table 9-10 lists the main characteristic parameters and shape structure of some toggle switches.
Mechanical Specifications:
1. The normal action force is: 250+_50gf
2. Terminal strength: increase the strength (500gf) on the tip in any direction for 1 minute. There is no crack in the row, such as abnormal movement, etc., the requirements of the toggle switch: meet the mechanical and electrical performance.
3. Test standard status: test temperature, humidity,
The air pressure for the toggle switch is as follows:
(1) Humidity is 45%~85%
(2) The air pressure is 80Kpa~106Kpa
(3) The temperature is 5℃~35℃
Toggle switches are mainly used in: various instruments/meter equipment, various electric toys, fax machines, audio equipment, medical equipment, beauty equipment, and other fields of electronic products!
Features:
The toggle switch is a new generation of photoelectric switch devices manufactured by integrated circuit technology and SMT surface device technology. It has intelligent functions such as delay, expansion, external synchronization, anti-interference, high reliability, stable working area and self-diagnosis. This novel photoelectric switch is an active photoelectric detection system type electronic switch using pulse modulation. The cold light sources used include infrared light, red light, green light and blue light, etc. Control the state and action of various solids, liquids, transparent bodies, black bodies, soft bodies, and smoke.
Driving waterproof and explosion-proof switch The contact type travel switch has the disadvantages of low response speed, poor accuracy, easy damage to the detected object and short life when contact detection, while the transistor proximity switch has a short operating distance and cannot directly detect non-metallic materials. However, the new photoelectric switch overcomes the above shortcomings, and has small size, multiple functions, long life, high precision, fast response speed, long detection distance and strong resistance to light, electricity and magnetic interference.
Introduction to the variety and mechanical performance specifications of the toggle switch The toggle switch is used to turn the circuit on or off by turning the switch handle, so as to achieve the purpose of switching the circuit. The commonly used types of toggle switches are single-pole double-position, single-pole three-position, double-pole double-position and double-pole three-position, etc., which are generally used in low-voltage circuits, and have the characteristics of flexible slider action and stable and reliable performance.
Precautions:
1. Use chemicals with caution
Due to the use of synthetic resins such as polycarbonate, the toggle switch base plate should avoid exposing the potentiometer to strong atmospheres of chemicals such as ammonia, amines, alkaline solutions, threon, ketones, esters, and halocarbons.

2. Use flux with caution
Water-soluble fluxes should be avoided when soldering, as this will adversely affect the metals and other materials that make up the toggle switch.
3. Solder
The wiring design and soldering method should avoid causing the molten tin to flow to the plane of the PC board, which will cause poor contact.
4. Low temperature work
When the product is used in a low temperature environment, such as a car radio or car audio in the cold zone, our company provides comfortable products according to customer requirements, please specify when ordering.
5. Handle length
The shorter the length, the better (at least 5mm). Under the condition that the width A of the sliding handle remains unchanged, the shorter the length of the sliding handle, the better the handle, and the higher the output point, the worse the handle.
6. Drive arm
Do not place the operating point away from the centerline of the slider, for the same reason, the shorter the distance B, the better.
