 toggle switch manufacturer to teach you how to choose a good toggle switch? Carefully reading the following content will be a great help for you to buy a toggle switch. Toggle switch is widely used in major electronic industries, toggle switch classification is very wide.

​

Choose a good quality toggle switch, toggle switch manufacturers for you: First look at the shell material. The main switch brands on the market generally choose PC material, PC material is also called bulletproof glue, impact resistance, high temperature resistance, not easy to change color characteristics for the control of electrical switch is very important. The better switch front panel and back base are made of PC material, and the general switch will replace the PC material with black nylon material on the base, so that the cost can be reduced a lot.
The same with PC material, many switch factory household is domestic production (even if the standard is the United States GE what is actually a domestic cooperative factory, but sold by GE), and at present, there is no company has the ability to produce PC material, the so-called domestic production is generally used to re-process out, so the impurities are relatively high, will be very brittle, Heat resistance is also significantly poor. Poor switches to reduce the cost of the front panel may not use PC material, with a mix or ABS instead. These materials not only impact resistance, poor heat resistance, but also easy to change color, surface touch more will appear very rough.
Secondly, look at the contact point, which is the contact point of the conductive part in the switching process. The contact depends on the size (the bigger the better), and the second depends on the material.

At present, there are three main types of contacts, silver nickel alloy, silver cadmium alloy and sterling silver.

Silver-cadmium alloy contacts are also better in other aspects, but cadmium is a heavy metal, on the one hand, harmful to the human body, on the other hand, the integration of silver is not ideal, will form small particles of cadmium metal on the surface of the contact, and may pull out an arc when conducting electricity.
Sterling silver as a contact is actually not suitable, the electrical conductivity is really good, but sterling silver texture is relatively soft, but also easy to oxidize (like silver jewelry will turn black for a long time). Soft texture, switch more contacts will be deformed; If oxidized rust, the electrical conductivity will be much worse, the rust point is also easy to heat, and it is easy to burn the contact.
Third, look at the structure. Now are mainly large panel, the appearance and feel are better than the previous thumb type. The biggest problem of the thumb type is that it is easy to get stuck, because the torque is relatively short, the switch action amplitude is relatively small, and the spring is slightly Microsoft or hard, which may cause the switch to get stuck. Two days ago, I saw Gray (don't tell me it is American, if it is American, then I am Martian) out of the so-called reset switch, try to feel harsh, open a look inside is a small roller, press a 1/4 turn, in order to reduce inevitable friction, it is coated with lubricating oil. Imagine how this switch will work six months later when the oil inside is dry.
