DESCRIPTION

The EK204-32 is a double-pole heavy-duty toggle switch from Carling Technologies' DK/EK-Series, designed for demanding industrial applications requiring robust switching performance. It features a ball-style toggle actuator (0.500 inch toggle length, 0.343 inch bushing length) with screw or wire lead termination options, rated for 10A at 250V or 20A at 125V AC/DC operation. The switch incorporates a quick make/quick break contact mechanism ideal for high-voltage DC applications, with sturdy metal construction and stiff actuation force to withstand stringent operating conditions. Key performance characteristics include a dielectric strength of 1000V (UL/CSA rated, live to dead and opposite polarity), 25,000 electrical cycles, and 100,000 mechanical cycles, with an operating temperature range of 0°F to 150°F (-17.8°C to +65.6°C). This switch is commonly used in industrial motor control and general-purpose switching applications where reliability and durability are critical.
