Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are widely used in controlling motors and other equipment that depend on toggling between two states for operation. The 7208J61ZBE12 is one such switch that offers reliable performance with its unique design and functions. This article offers an overview of the application field and working principle of this switch.

Application Field

This particular switch is primarily used in the medical equipment and general electronics industry, as it grazes current consumption on all levels to meet the requirements of the machine or circuit. Even though the switch is small and compact, it is very robust and can be used to handle loads up to 10A, making it particularly suitable for use in industrial and commercial applications.

Working Principle

This switch is composed of two pieces that are connected with a built-in spring/diaphragm assembly. When the external force is removed from the switch, the spring pushes the two pieces apart, enabling the internal contacts to open. When the force is applied again, the spring and diaphragm are compressed and the contacts are closed.

Due to the use of the built-in assembly, this switch is particularly resistant to shock and vibration, meaning that it can function reliably even in harsh industrial environments. Additionally, the construction of the switch also provides increased endurance and reduced contact bounce.
