Rocker Switches

The 7208J2WBE1 is a well-known and widely used rocker switch. A rocker switch is a type of switch that when activated, has a rocking movement that powers a device or system. The primary feature of this switch is a two-way action that opens and closes a circuit when rocked. This type of switch is usually used to control lighting but can also be used for other applications.

This particular rocker switch has a two-pole, single-throw (SPST) or two-pole, double-throw (SPDT) configuration. It is rated for 10 amps and is marked with a black embossed "on" or "off" label. It is suitable for various commercial, motor and lighting control applications. It is ideal for applications where an everyday on-off switch is needed. The switch is UL and CSA listed.

The 7208J2WBE1 is relatively easy to install and operate. It mounts directly to standard 35mm DIN mounts or 35mm clip-in frames. When the top of the unit is pressed or deflected, the switch changes from one state to the other. The contact action is smooth, single-break, momentary with no audible click noise. With its rugged construction and low profile, this switch is also suitable for use in environments with areas of high vibration and exposure to extreme temperatures.

Aside from the actual construction of the switch, the working principle of the 7208JB2WBE1 is quite simple. As mentioned earlier, this type of switch uses a two-way action that turns a circuit on or off when rocked. This action is usually completed by means of a mechanical lever or cam, which actuates the switch’s internal contacts. Once the switch is actuated, the contacts open or close, powering the device or system.

In conclusion, the 7208J2WBE1 is a reliable, rugged, and easy to operate rocker switch. It can be used in a variety of applications, from lighting to commercial and motor control, due to its high current rating and universal mounting. The switch works by means of a two-pole, single-throw (SPST) or two-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch configuration and its simple working principle makes it an ideal choice for everyday on-off switching needs.
