Rocker switches come in many shapes, sizes, and configurations. The 4TP12-70 is one such switch, commonly used in many industrial, commercial and residential applications. Comprehensive but concise, we will discuss the application and working principle of this switch.

Applications: 4TP12-70 is primarily used to control lights and other electrical appliances. As a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch, it is usually found powering lights. It is also used in climates with heavy snowfall to secure heating equipment such as baseboard heaters and registers. Moreover, this switch is ideal in industrial and commercial settings like factories, offices, and hospitals to control lighting, ventilation and even security systems.

Working Principle: 4TP12-70 features two separate control positions: ON and OFF. When the switch is in the ON position, the power from the electrical source is sent to the load. When the switch is in the OFF position, the power source is interrupted and the load is disabled. The switch is activated when the rocker is depressed and a spring loaded contact is connected. This contact completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow to the load.

In order to ensure its longevity, 4TP12-70 is housed in a waterproof enclosure that meets IP66 for dust and moisture protection. Additionally, the switch is load rated at 12A and 110-250 VAC. Also, the 4TP12-70 is air tight, compliant with UL and CSA standards and provides heat dissipation to make sure its internal components remain cool.

Connectivity-wise, 4TP12-70 is one of the most versatile switches on the market. With its integrated spade connectors, the switch can be connected to electrical wiring without special adapters or clamps. Additionally, it is approved to be mounted in panels with a thickness standard between 0.18” and 0.62”.

Finally, the 4TP12-70 is extremely durable and can handle frequent on/off cycles for extended periods of time. The buttons and rocker switch housing are made of ABS, a type of engineering plastic that can withstand harsh weather conditions, temperature shocks and is electrostatic discharge safe.

To summarize, the 4TP12-70 is a popular choice in commercial, industrial and residential settings that need a reliable switch solution. Its multiple applications include controlling electrical appliances, ventilation, lighting and even security systems. Its unique spring loaded contact makes sure the circuit is completed when the rocker is activated and its robust construction ensures a long service life. The 4TP12-70 rocker switch is truly the best switch for any demanding application.
