How to judge the quality of toggle switches

Release time:2025-04-24 News section:Industry news

There are thousands of toggle switches on the market, with prices ranging from a few cents to a few yuan, but they all look similar in appearance.


How can we distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a new switch?

The toggle switch has two important parameters: Mechanical Life and Electrical Life

Mechanical lifespan refers to the lifespan of a toggle switch without any load connection

Electrical lifespan refers to the lifespan of a circuit breaker under load conditions

The mechanical lifespan of the waterproof toggle switch (1A) is 30000 cycles

The mechanical lifespan of the long-life toggle switch (1F) is 100000 cycles

The mechanical lifespan of the small toggle switch (2M) is 30000 cycles

The mechanical lifespan of the waterproof small toggle switch (2A) is 30000 cycles

The mechanical lifespan of the SMT small toggle switch (2B) is 30000 cycles

The mechanical lifespan of the ultra small toggle switch (2U) is 40000 cycles

The electrical lifespan of all toggle switches is 6000 cycles under a load of 1.5 times the current (UL testing standard)
