The Honeywell Micro Switch TL Series Toggle Switch, is a two-pole, two-position, screw terminal, standard lever device. The quality construction features incorporate a bonded seal between the toggle lever and bushing, as well as between the cover and case. The robust design of the toggle is ideal for many defence, aerospace and other demanding applications where reliability is crucial. These applications incorporate environments where the panels are subjected to vibration, mechanical shock, and temperature extremes and environments with dust, splashing or hose-directed water.

These toggle switches provide a mixture of circuitry and pole options. A long history in defence and aerospace applications has shown the toggle to provide reliable performance with long operating life under the harshest conditions.

The switches work over a temperature range of -65C to 71C (-85F to 160F) and have a completely sealed switching chamber. The step-design case offers added space between terminals to help prevent shorting.

Typical applications include industrial machinery and equipment, defence and commercial aviation, construction equipment, test instruments, agricultural machinery, process control, and medical instrumentation.
