Rocker switches are one of the most common and useful electrical control devices available today. The 7201J50V3BE2 is a double pole, single throw (DPST) rocker switch used in applications across a wide range of industries and home improvement projects. This particular switch is a light duty rocker with an on-off control for two independent circuits.

This switch is equipped with a built-in LED light for signal indication in dimly lit rooms when being used as a lighting control. The 7201J50V3BE2 switch is rated for 125V, 7.5A, 1/2HP and has a mechanical life of 5,000 cycles. The face of the switch is made from a high-impact engineering grade thermoplastic and has a UV stabilized frame that ensures the long life of the switch, even when exposed to direct sunlight.

These switches are designed for easier installation, with an included square or round plate that fits most standard electrical boxes. This plate also has a mounting hole to secure the switch with a screw. The 7201J50V3BE2 also has a rear mounting collar that can expand the range of junction box sizes and detach if needed.

The mechanical operation of the 7201J50V3BE2 is straightforward. Behind the snap-in knob and black rocker are two separate sets of spring contacts. When the rocker is pushed up it allows the top contact to make contact with the bottom contact and complete the circuit. When the rocker is flipped down, the contact is broken and the circuit is open.

The 7201J50V3BE2 has a variety of applications from home appliances, such as coffee makers, to commercial grade machines, such as robotic welding equipment. This switch can also be used in RV remodels, HVAC systems, auto repair and electrical panel upgrades.

The 7201J50V3BE2 is a versatile, reliable switch that is designed to stand up to the toughest environments. Its simple and straightforward design makes it a great option for a variety of applications and it is approved for UL, CSA, NOM and CE ratings.
