Rocker switches are essential components of many electrical and electronic systems. They are designed to provide efficient electrical connections and minimize power loss. The 1TP8-7 rocker switch is a contact-based, single-pole switch that provides the means to control a variety of electrical and electronic loads. This article will explain the application field and working principle of this rocker switch.

Application Field:

The 1TP8-7 rocker switch is available in various wiring combinations, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It can be used in signaling, automation and security systems, as well as in medical and communications equipment, and many other electrical and electronic systems. The switch can handle a maximum current of 6 amps and a maximum voltage of 250 volts, making it capable of handling most AC and DC loads.

The 1TP8-7 is available in a variety of mounting styles and actuator styles. These include panel mounting, surface mounting, and solder mounting with options for illuminated or non-illuminated actuators. The illuminated versions feature an SPST-NO switch and a red LED indicating the switch position. This is useful for signifying the status of a machine or for identifying power status.

Working Principle:

The 1TP8-7 rocker switch is designed to provide efficient electrical connections, minimize power loss, and withstand high current and voltage levels. The electrical contacts inside the switch are opened or closed by actuating the rocker with the finger. When the rocker is pressed, an electrical current is established between the contacts and the circuit is complete. The contacts are sealed in a housing to protect them from external elements such as dust, moisture, or dirt.

The switch is also designed to minimize contact arcing, which occurs when the electrical contacts are energized and have a gap between them. This arcing can lead to premature failure of the device and can cause malfunctions. To reduce this risk, the switch is designed with gold-plated contacts and a self-cleaning wiping action to ensure more consistent and reliable operation.

The 1TP8-7 rocker switch is reliable, easy to install, and requires minimal maintenance. It is a versatile component that can be used in a variety of applications and environments. The wide range of wiring combinations, mounting styles, and actuator styles provide users with multiple options when selecting a switch.
