7208J1AV2BE1

Rocker switches are widely used in electronic equipment and electrical control systems. The 7208J1AV2BE1 rocker switch is no exception. It is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) type switch with a maximum current rating of 3A, a voltage rating of 250V AC and an insulation resistance of 10MΩ. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 7208J1AV2BE1 rocker switch.

Application Field

The 7208J1AV2BE1 rocker switch is principally used to control electrical devices such as motors, lights and pumps. It is suitable for applications in commercial, residential and industrial settings where it is required to turn appliances on and off, switch between different power sources, or switch between two speeds, due to its SPDT design. It is commonly used in telecommunications and computers, control panels, industrial equipment, automotive, and household appliances.

Working Principle

The 7208J1AV2BE1 rocker switch is a momentary action switch with two positions. When the rocker is pressed, the switch toggles between the two positions. Each position makes an electrical connection with either a pair of conductors (ON/OFF) or two different leads (ON/ON). The switch can also be wired to allow for momentary switching (ON/OFF/ON) or latching (ON/OFF/ON/OFF).

The rocker switch contains two electrical contacts, normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC). When the switch is actuated, the NO contact breaks the circuit and the NC contact makes the circuit. Depending on the wiring, the switch can be set to toggle between the two positions each time the rocker is pressed, or it can be set to remain in one position until it is pressed again to switch to the other position.

When wiring the rocker switch, it is important to ensure that the electrical contacts are connected properly. If wired incorrectly, the switch will not cycle between the two positions or may not provide the desired functionality.

In summary, the 7208J1AV2BE1 rocker switch is a versatile electrical control device which is suitable for a range of switching applications in a variety of settings. Its SPDT design allows it to be used to switch between different power sources, control motors, lights and pumps, and switch between two speeds. When wiring, be sure to provide for correct electrical contact arrangements for the desired functionality.
