Introduction

A rocker switch is a type of switch that is operated by an actuator that rocks back and forth. Rocker switches are usually rectangular or square in shape and usually have two or more larger and two or more smaller terminals. They are used in a variety of applications ranging from household appliances and consumer electronics to industrial controls and instrumentation.

58034-03 Application Field and Working Principle

The 58034-03 rocker switch is a three-position switch with On-Off-On action. It is available in a variety of configurations including a panel mount, toggle, and momentary pushbutton. The switch is designed for use in a variety of applications, such as lighting and audio-video equipment, appliances and controls, medical and process-control equipment, instrumentation, and telecommunications. The switch is rated for 10A at 125/250V AC, 19A at 24V and has a contact resistance of 20 mΩ max. The switch is UL, CSA, and CE rated.

The 58034-03 rocker switch has a simple, yet reliable design that allows for easy operation and low contact resistance. The switch operates using a single actuator that rocks back and forth between two stops. The actuator is connected to two or more contact plates that touch to form a circuit when the actuator is rocked in either direction. The contacts are mounted on either side of the actuator so that they are always in contact when the switch is operated. When the actuator is rocked from one contact plate to the other, the circuit is opened or closed.

The 58034-03 also features a built-in LED indicator that illuminates when the switch is operated. This makes the switch easier to operate in low-light environments. The LED can be configured to indicate either the On or Off position. The switch is also vandal resistant and UL94V-0 rated for added durability.

Conclusion

The 58034-03 is a versatile and reliable rocker switch that is well-suited for a variety of applications. It offers a simple, reliable design with low contact resistance and an LED indicator for easy operation. The switch is UL, CSA, and CE rated and is available in a variety of configurations.
