7101J3WBE2

Rockerswitches can be found in many industrial and commercial applications, from toys to complex machinery. 7101J3WBE2 is a rocker switch module designed for industrial and commercial applications, with a range of variables, electrical ratings, and actuator shapes. The switch handle may also vary, while the majority of rocker switches employ the up/down switching logic.

Functions

Typically, Rocker Switches are used for triggering and switching of circuits. 7101J3WBE2 rocker switch provides different operations when up/down switching logic is employed. For instance, when a single-pole switch is placed in the “up” or “on” position, then the circuit is energized, while when it is in the “down” or “off” position, the circuit is not energized. Similarly, when a double-pole switch is placed in the “up” or “on” position, two circuits are energized simultaneously, while the “down” or “off” position turns off both circuits.

Construction and Workings

Rocker switches are generally made up of two main components – the actuator and the contacts. The actuator is the part of the switch which is human operated, and includes a current handle, a surface on which the handle rests, an activating plunger and a return spring mechanism. The contacts are the electrical components which are responsible for the conduction and enable the switch to open and close. The contacts are either spring-loaded or spring-free, depending on the type of switch.

7101J3WBE2 Rocker Switches are designed to transfer a designated current, ratedaccording to the voltage, amperage, and resistance rating of the switch. The current switch handle is usually designed to provide an identifiable sensation, making it easier to identify which position the switch is in. This is achieved by the use of a magnet provided for the switch handle, which triggers a solenoid when pressed, creating a visual and auditory signal.
