Description

The M2042S3S1W06 is an electronic component model that belongs to the toggle switches product category. It is a versatile switch that offers a range of distinctive characteristics.

Specifications and features

- Antirotation design: This toggle switch features an antirotation design, which is standard on noncylindrical levers. The toggle and bushing are mated, and the bottom of the toggle has two flatted sides that fit into a complementary opening inside the bushing.

- Antijamming design: The switch is equipped with an antijamming design that protects the contacts from damage caused by excessive downward force on the actuator.

- High torque bushing construction: The high torque bushing construction prevents rotation or separation from the frame during installation.

- High insulating barriers: This switch has high insulating barriers that increase the isolation of circuits in multipole devices and provide added protection to contact points.

- Molded diallyl phthalate case: The switch's case is made of molded diallyl phthalate, which has a UL flammability rating of 94V-0.

- Epoxy sealed terminals: The terminals of this switch are epoxy sealed, preventing the entry of solder flux and other contaminants.

- Prominent external insulating barriers: The switch features prominent external insulating barriers that increase insulation resistance and dielectric strength.

- Interlocked actuator block, lever, and interior guide: This switch is designed with an interlocked actuator block, lever, and interior guide to prevent switch failure due to biased lever movement.

- Clinching of frame to case: The frame of this switch is clinched to the case well above the base and terminals, providing 1,500V dielectric strength.
