The 7000 Series Miniature Toggle Switches are designed for multiple applications including telecommunications, instrumentation, and medical equipment. The datasheet offers a detailed look at the variety of features and specifications that make these switches suitable for various operational needs.
Features and Benefits
These toggle switches provide significant versatility with their multi-pole and multi-position configurations. They are designed with a wide array of actuator and termination options to cater to different user requirements. Additionally, the switches have an epoxy terminal-seal that is bottom wash cleaning compatible, providing an advantage in maintenance. For businesses and projects that value environmental compliance, RoHS compliant models are available, ensuring adherence to regulations on hazardous substances.
Specifications
Contact Rating: Varies with the contact material, with B type supporting a 0.4 VA max at 20 V AC/DC and Q type rated for higher currents. Extensive details and additional ratings can be referenced on page F-15 of the full datasheet.
Electrical Life: Dependent on the model, switch life ranges from 40,000 to 100,000 make-and-break cycles at full load.
Contact Resistance: Below 10 mohm typical initial @ 2-4 V DC with 100 mA for both silver and gold-plated contacts.
Insulation Resistance: At least 1 Gohm minimum.
Dielectric Strength: A minimum of 1000 Vrms at sea level.
Operating Temperature: Operable between -30°C to 85°C.
Solderability: Conforms to MIL-STD-202F method 208D or EIA RS-186E method (9 hours steam aging).
Build-A-Switch
The datasheet’s ‘Build-A-Switch’ section outlines the process of customizing a switch. Customers are directed to select options from various categories such as switch function, bushing, actuator, contact material, actuator color/finish, terminations, and bushing finish. These options are extensively enumerated on pages F-4 through F-16.
Additionally, the datasheet lists materials used in the construction of the switches, ensuring the use of durable components such as glass-filled nylon, flame retardant brass, stainless steel, copper alloy, and other high-quality materials for different switch parts. All these materials are specified for switches with standard options, with the caveat that for specific and custom switches further consultation with the Customer Service Center is recommended.
Switch Function and Model Numbers
A table is provided illustrating switch function options, connected terminals, and applicable model numbers. This allows easy identification of the correct model for a given application. Notably, there is a differentiation of models that pertain to single-pole double throw (SPDT) and double-pole double throw (DPDT) models, among others, with specific schematic representations provided for ease of use.
The last portion of the analyzed content details the facilities that certifiable models adhere to, offering an assurance of quality and safety. Overall, the 7000 Series cater to a need for reliable and customizable switch solutions for sophisticated equipment.
