Toggle Switches

A toggle switch is a small appliance switch that opens and closes a circuit, or transfers between two circuits, when the lever protruding from the panel is pushed between two or three positions. It is used to switch signal and small load circuits by hand in electronic devices, test and measurement rigs, vehicle panels and small machine controls. The category includes EMAS MA series and Isıso toggle switches in On-Off, On-On and On-Off-On position arrangements, with 2, 3, 4 and 6 pins, and with terminal, solder terminal or screw connection. On-Off opens and closes a single circuit, On-On transfers between two circuits, and On-Off-On is a three-position design with a center position in which the circuit stays open. Select the switch by position arrangement, number of poles and contacts, rated current and voltage, terminal type and panel hole diameter. A toggle switch should not be confused with the rotary maintained push button of the 22 mm control series or with a rocker appliance switch; on a toggle switch, the position is changed by pushing the lever protruding from the panel.
