Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are basically electrical switches which operate by means of a rocking motion. They are actuated by a push button and allow the user to switch between two predetermined states—either the “on” or the “off” position. This type of switch may either be internally or externally illuminated, depending on the requirement.

One of the most common applications of rocker switches is in instrumentation and audio equipment. This is because of their ability to provide reliable and constant control over the operation of the equipment. A rocker switch is therefore preferred as compared to other regular switches, because it is less likely to unexpectedly slip or move during operation, allowing for a consistent experience.

Rocker switches also play a significant role in the automotive industry; they are most commonly used for controlling the car\'s lighting system, such as dimming the headlights, turning the fog lights on and off, and for operating the dome light. In addition, they have a variety of other applications in the automotive industry, such as controlling the engine starter and the windshield wipers.

One of the major benefits of using rocker switches is that they are easy to install and most of them can be wired directly to the circuit board, eliminating the need for any additional wiring. This not only makes them more convenient to use but also reduces the cost of installation significantly.

The working principle of a rocker switch is generally very simple. An actuator (usually a push button) is used to move the switch between the two states. This actuator is attached to a spring which must be pressed in order to move the switch from one position to the other. As the switch is switched back and forth between the states, the spring is compressed slightly each time, which produces a clicking sound.

These switches are also available in different configurations, such as momentary or maintained contact, as well as single or double pole switching. Momentary contact means that the switch will remain in the on or off position only for as long as the actuator is pressed down. Maintained contact means that the switch can remain in a certain position even after the actuator is released. Double pole switches allow for both poles to be switched at the same time, while single pole switches can only switch one pole at a time.

Rocker switches are widely used in various applications, such as industrial control systems, security systems, medical equipment and consumer electronics. They are preferred over regular on/off switches because they provide more reliable contact and better control over the operation of the equipment. In addition, they are also easy to install and require minimal wiring, which helps to reduce costs significantly.
