Product Description
Renew RT series toggle switches offer a wide choice of circuitry, action availability and terminals for design flexibility. They may be used anywhere manual operation is desired. By using the screw terminals, the connection of wire can be easily inspected and re-tightened if necessary. Solder terminals provide a strong and stable connection that is resistant to vibration. They are suitable for applications where components are not expected to be disconnected often, and can be advantageous in space-constrained applications. The quick-connect terminal allows for a quick and easy connection, which is ideal for devices that may require frequent assembly and disassembly. Accessories of the toggle such as drip-proof cap and safety flip cover are available.
