How to Select the Right Mini Toggle Switch

Choosing the correct Mini Toggle Switch is straightforward once you identify your application requirements.

1. Select the circuit configuration
   • SPST (2 Pins)  – Controls one circuit with simple ON/OFF operation.
   • SPDT (3 Pins)  – Switches one circuit between two outputs.
   • DPST (4 Pins)  – Controls two independent circuits with simultaneous ON/OFF switching.
   • DPDT (6 Pins) – Controls two independent circuits simultaneously.
2. Choose the switching function
   • ON-OFF
   • ON-ON
   • ON-OFF-ON
   • Momentary (Spring Return)
3. Select the operation type
   • Maintained (Self-Locking) – The lever stays in position after switching.
   • Momentary – The lever automatically returns when released.
4. Choose the contact material
   • Silver Alloy – Best conductivity and longest service life.
   • Copper Alloy – Excellent balance of performance and value.
   • Steel – Economical solution for general-purpose switching.
5. Select the housing
   • Orange Flame-Retardant Nylon
   • Red Flame-Retardant Nylon
   • Black Phenolic (Bakelite)

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between SPST, SPDT, and DPDT Mini Toggle Switches?

SPST controls a single circuit with basic ON/OFF functionality. SPDT allows one circuit to switch between two outputs, while DPDT controls two separate circuits simultaneously, making it ideal for more complex electrical systems.

---

Q2: What is the difference between Maintained and Momentary switches?

A Maintained (Self-Locking) switch remains in its selected position after being operated. A Momentary switch automatically returns to its original position once the lever is released, making it suitable for temporary control functions.

---

Q3: Which contact material should I choose?

For industrial equipment or frequent switching, Silver Alloy Contacts are recommended due to their superior conductivity and durability. Copper Alloy Contacts provide excellent value for general applications, while Iron Contacts are suitable for cost-sensitive projects.

---

Q4: Are these Mini Toggle Switches waterproof?

The switches themselves are not waterproof. However, when fitted with the optional Waterproof Rubber Boot, they gain improved protection against dust and water splashes, making them suitable for automotive, marine, agricultural, and outdoor equipment.

---

Q5: How can I identify the correct E-TEN model?

Each model number represents a specific combination of circuit configuration and switching function.

For example:

• E-TEN1021 – SPST ON-OFF
• E-TEN1121 – SPDT ON-ON
• E-TEN1122 – SPDT ON-OFF-ON
• E-TEN1221 – DPST ON-OFF
• E-TEN1321 – DPDT ON-ON
• E-TEN1322 – DPDT ON-OFF-ON

If you are unsure which model best fits your application, please contact our technical support team for assistance.
