Rocker Switches

The 1-1634200-7 Rocker Switch is an electrical switch that controls an electrical circuit between two or more positions. It is a form of switch that is manually operated by a human. Rocker switches are most often noticed in household appliance, automobiles and tools applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of a rocker switch is quite simple: it contains an actuator, or an operating lever on the switch, which is connected to a separate contact and a button. When the button is pushed or pulled, it causes the actuator to move up or down, opening or closing the contacts. This action allows the flow of current to continue through the circuit or be interrupted, thereby making the connected device either operational or non operational.

Application Field

Rocker switches are now universally adopted for a variety of applications, ranging from the most basic to the most technically advanced. In domestic and commercial appliance, such as air conditioners, washing machines and emergency lighting systems, rocker switches are used for central control of the device.

In industrial processes, this versatile switch is used in diverse applications such as machine tools, home automation systems, lighting control, motors and other equipment. Besides, rocker switches also have military grade applications, such as radios and aircraft control, due to its robustness and durability.

To sum up, rocker switches have become the most common and popular choice when it comes to controlling power supply and electrical current owing to its simplicity, reliable functionality and cost effectiveness. With their simplistic design and efficient working performance, rocker switches are here to stay.
