A Rocker switch is a device used for the control and distribution of electrical energy. It is basically a contact switch that can be manually operated. The most common material used for rocker switches is plastic such as polyester or polycarbonate. The basic working principle of a rocker switch is based on the application of pressure along its axis in order to open or close the switch. Sometimes, the switch is operated through a rotary motion.

One of the main application field of rocker switches is the switching of a circuit in the industrial and home appliances. Since they are designed to be robust, reliable and safe, they are extensively used in the appliance industry. The most common rocker switch applications are in the automation sector, such as in process control, batch controllers, etc. They are also used in residential applications, such as light and ceiling fan control.

The most common design of rocker switch is the 4TP1-3. This switch consists of a rocker pad, an actuator and an actuator housing. The rocker pad is a piece of plastic that is mounted to the switch body, with a built-in metal plunger. A flexible actuator and a spring are integrated into the actuator housing. The actuator contains a \'rocker\' element, which is a metal or plastic roller that slides against the plunger when the switch is pressed. The movement of the roller causes the internal contact of the switch to open or close the circuit, allowing the current to flow or be interrupted.

Rocker switches can also be used as signaling devices in automotive and medical systems. For example, in a medical monitoring system, a rocker switch may be used to indicate a routine alarm or consumer alert. In automotive applications, rocker switches can be used for the control of power windows, windshield wipers, and headlights, as well as for controlling audio systems and the power outlets in a car.

Rocker switches have a few advantages over other switches, such as toggle and push button switches. They are generally easier to use, since they can be operated with one hand and require minimal pressure to change the circuit state. They are also more accommodating for applications that require multiple positions, since a rocker switch can provide up to seven different positions. Furthermore, rocker switches are generally more reliable since they contain fewer moving parts than other types of switches.

Overall, rocker switches are a versatile control device with a wide range of applications. They are highly reliable, provide multiple switching positions, are relatively easy to use, and are cost-effective. Therefore, they make an excellent choice for controlling a variety of circuits in different types of applications.
