8 Pin Toggle Switch

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • DPST Toggle Switch: Enables double-pole, single-throw (DPST) operation, allowing simultaneous control of two circuits with a single toggle.
  • High Current Handling: Rated for 15A at 250VAC and 10A at 380VAC, designed to manage moderate to heavy electrical loads in diverse applications.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Material Technology

  • With a corrosion-resistant metal body, you can ensure durability in harsh industrial environments. The copper alloy contacts further guarantee efficient current handling, minimizing resistance and heat buildup during operation.

  • 2. Intuitive Interactive Design

  • With clearly labeled ON/OFF positions and a classic toggle design, you can achieve intuitive operation and reduce user error. The ergonomic lever ensures smooth switching even in high-vibration settings.

  • 3. High-Performance Electrical Capacity

  • With a 15A rating at 250VAC and 10,000 mechanical life cycles, you can handle heavy-duty loads and ensure long-term reliability. Compared to standard 12A switches, this offers ~25% higher current capacity and 50% longer lifespan*.

  • 4. Versatile Wiring Solutions

  • With six terminals and panel mounting design, you can configure complex wiring setups for industrial machinery, appliances, and electronic projects. This allows up to 3x more wiring configurations than standard toggle switches*.
