Rocker Switches

7201J16ZQE12 is a type of rocker switch with prevalent applications. This type of switch is generally available in a variety of styles, bezels, and circuitry configurations intended for different purposes. Generally, rocker switches are used in devices where one can select between two positions and control the on-off status of the device.

Application Field and Working Principle

7201J16ZQE12 rocker switches are suitable for unique applications including security systems, medical equipment, industrial applications, home lighting, automotive, and electronic equipment. They are not identical, since the applicable applications and Specifications depend on the features of a particular type.

Rocker switches are equipped with a plunger attached to a single or multiple-pole switch. Depressing the rocker in the actuation direction causes a contact mechanism to close, thus completing the circuit. When the rocker is released, the plunger pulls away from the contact, opening up the circuit. Usually, the rocker is designed ergonomically so that it can be easily actuated by the user.

In addition to the simple on-off switch, 7201J16ZQE12 rockers switches in certain applications offer user control of multiple circuits even with a single-pole switch. The internal construction of a rocker switch can vary with different applications and solutions, ranging from low voltage/current AC or DC applications, as well as specialty applications.

In terms of mounting, 7201J16ZQE12 rocker switches are offered with many different ways of fixing, including PCB mount, snap-in, and screw mount. The 6.3mm & 3.5mm snaps-in switch bases come with high contact ratings, while the screw panel mount versions are available with higher current ratings making them suitable for more high voltage/current applications.

In summary, 7201J16ZQE12 rocker switches are widely used for various applications in electronics, with excellent mounting options, contact ratings and flexible internal construction for reliable operation in different applications.
