RS-223R TOGGLE SWITCH SERIES

Dual-Circuit Precision: 15A 250V 6-Pin Double Spring Toggle Switch 

This 6-pin heavy-duty toggle switch provides advanced control for dual-circuit or polarity-reversing applications requiring temporary engagement. Engineered with a Double Spring Return mechanism, the lever automatically returns to the Center-OFF position from both directions. This ensures that connected machinery or systems only remain active while the operator is manually holding the switch in place.

Key Performance Features:

• Dual Momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) Action: Features a 3-position logic where both "ON" states are momentary, snapping back to the neutral "OFF" center position upon release.

• Heavy-Duty 15A Capacity: Rated at 15A 250VAC, built to handle significant electrical loads in industrial, marine, and automotive environments.

• DPDT 6-Terminal Array: Six industrial-grade screw terminals allow for the simultaneous control of two independent circuits or complex polarity-reversing motor wiring.

• Rugged Industrial Construction: Designed with a heat-resistant deep burgundy thermoset body and a reinforced metal mounting frame for high-cycle durability.

• Complete Installation Kit: Each switch includes a high-contrast "ON-OFF-ON" indicator plate, hex mounting nut, and locking washer for a secure, vibration-resistant panel mount.

Typical Applications

• DC Motor Polarity Reversal: Ideal for controlling winches, linear actuators, or hoists where temporary "Up/Down" or "In/Out" movement is required.

• Industrial Jogging Control: Perfect for machinery that requires short, precise bursts of movement for material alignment.

• Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems: Used to trigger valves or pumps that must stop immediately when the operator lets go of the control.

Technical Specs:

•  Electrical Rating: 15A 250VAC.

•  Circuitry: DPDT (6 Pins).

•  Switching Action: Momentary (ON) - Center OFF - Momentary (ON).

•  Terminal Type: 6 x Heavy-Duty Screw Terminals.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1. Does this switch stay in the "ON" position?

   • No. This is a full momentary switch. The lever will spring back to the center "OFF" position from either side as soon as you release it.

2. Can I use this for reversing a DC motor?

   • Yes. The 6-pin DPDT configuration is specifically designed to handle motor reversal by crossing the wires on the outer terminals.

3. What mounting size is required?

   • This switch uses a standard industrial threaded bushing, fitting a 12mm (approx. 1/2") mounting hole for a secure fit in metal or plastic panels.
