Rocker switches are a type of switch that is operated with a rocking motion. These switches consist of two or more “rockers,” which act as levers. When the user pushes one of the levers, the switch is operated. Rocker switches are commonly used to control lights, fans, and other electrical devices. There are various types of rocker switches available on the market today.

1571100-7 Application Field and Working Principle

The 1571100-7 rocker switch is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch, meaning it has two separate circuits and can be used to control two separate devices. It has an OFF/ON/ON configuration, which allows the user to control multiple devices with one switch. It is a latching switch, meaning once the user pushes the lever, the switch remains in the new position until the lever is moved again.

The 1571100-7 is a standard-sized rocker switch, measuring 8mm x 8mm x 24mm. It features a snap-on mounting system and is rated for AC 6A 250V and DC 3A 30V. The contacts are silver-plated, which offers improved conductivity and durability, and the switch is rated to IP53, which means it is dust-tight and splash-proof. The 1571100-7 is suitable for a variety of applications such as lighting, three-phase motors, and electric appliances.

The 1571100-7 rocker switch works by using an internal electrical switch to make and break an electrical contact. When you push one of the levers, the switch is operated, and the electrical connection is closed, thus sending an electrical signal and completing the circuit. When released, the electrical contact is opened, thus breaking the circuit and preventing any current from flowing.

The 1571100-7 rocker switch is a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use switch that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is a popular choice for a variety of projects due to its robust construction, durable silver-plated contacts, and splash-proof rating.
