Introduction to Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are electromechanical switches that turn a circuit on or off when a rocker arm is depressed or released. Rocker switches are commonly used in electronic equipment, consumer electronics, instruments, and electronic devices. Rocker switches are also becoming increasingly popular for use in automotive, robotic, and aerospace systems due to their low cost, rugged construction, and ease of use.

2641LH/2A216000L0 Application Field and Working Principle

The 2641LH/2A216000L0 rocker switch is a simple, cost-effective latching rocker switch. It is designed for use in automotive, robotic, and aerospace applications. It is capable of switching currents up to 10 amps.

The 2641LH/2A216000L0 rocker switch features a single pole, double throw (SPDT) contact arrangement. The switches have two circuits, each with two positions. When the rocker arm is depressed, the contacts open or close depending on the position of the rocker arm. Depressing the rocker arm in one direction opens the contacts, while depressing it in the opposite direction closes the contacts.

The 2641LH/2A216000L0 rocker switch is constructed from a high-grade thermoset plastic material. The body and arms are molded together to form a rugged, lightweight switch. The contacts are made of a conductive silver alloy that is designed to provide superior electrical performance and long-term reliability. The contacts are also rated for up to 10 amps.

The 2641LH/2A216000L0 rocker switch is UL and CSA recognized, and is compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards. The switch can handle both AC and DC currents.
