A Rocker Switch is a type of device that controls the flow of electricity or current from a power source to an appliance or machine. In this device, a spring-loaded rocker arm is used to open or close a circuit, and these switches are designed to be used with either a single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) configuration or a double-pole-double-throw (DPDT) configuration. Rocker switches play a fundamental role in the automation and operation of many kinds of electronic and mechanical devices, such as motors, lights, and relays.

Applications of Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are often used in a wide range of applications including automotive, industrial, military and commercial applications. A common use of rocker switches is to control the on/off function of electrical and electronic equipment, such as household appliances, lights, alarms, and many more. In the automotive industry, rocker switches are used to control the operation of the vehicle’s lights, the power windows, the power locks and the power steering. In the military and aerospace sectors, they are used to switch from one instrument to another, or to control computer or radar systems.In industrial applications, rocker switches are used to control the operation of motors, pumps, mixers, conveyors and other machines.

Working Principle of Rocker Switches

Rocker switches work on a simple principle – a mechanical switch is used to rapidly open and close the circuit, which allows electricity to flow through the device or stop it from flowing. A single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switch is the most common type of rocker switch and consists of a rocker arm with a set of contacts that form the switch\'s electrical circuit. When pressure is applied to the switch, the rocker arm moves and the contact points either make or break the electrical circuit, thus creating a continuous flow of electricity or turning it off.

In a double pole-double throw (DPDT) rocker switch, the two sets of contact points used to control the flow of electricity are connected to different circuits. When the switch is in its “off” position, both circuits remain open and no current will flow. When the switch is in its “on” position, one circuit will be open and the other closed, allowing electricity to flow through the switch.

Conclusion

Rocker switches are an essential component in many electrical and electronic systems and are used to control the on/off function of a wide range of different applications. Rocker switches work by rapidly opening and closing a circuit with a mechanical switch, allowing electricity to either flow or be turned off depending on the application. There are two main types of rocker switches, SPDT and DPDT, which have slightly different working principles.
