Description

The M2018ES1W01 is an electronic component, specifically a toggle switch, manufactured by NKK. It is known for its distinctive characteristics.

Specifications and features

• Antirotation design, standard on noncylindrical levers, mates toggle and bushing.
• Bottom of toggle has two flattened sides which fit into a complementary opening inside bushing.
• Antijamming design protects contacts from damage due to excessive downward force on actuator.
• High torque bushing construction prevents rotation or separation from frame during installation.
• High insulating barriers increase isolation of circuits in multipole devices.
• Provides added protection to contact points.
• Molded diallyl phthalate case has a UL flammability rating of 94V-0.
• Epoxy sealed terminals prevent entry of solder flux and other contaminants.
• Prominent external insulating barriers increase insulation resistance and dielectric strength.
• Interlocked actuator block, lever, and interior guide prevent switch failure due to biased lever movement.
• Clinching of frame to case well above base and terminals provides 1,500V dielectric strength.
