7401J37CBE22

Rocker switches are widely used in various industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. 7401J37CBE22 is a popular rocker switch model manufactured by NKK Switches. This particular device is a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) rocker switch with an actuator body length of 37 mm, a contact rating of 8 A, and a rated voltage of 250V AC. 7401J37CBE22 is generally used in devices and products such as medical and laboratory instruments, power tools, automotive after-market equipment, vending and gaming machines, refrigerators, and hair dryers. It is suited for applications requiring momentary contact. The 7401J37CBE22 rocker switch’s design is based upon a rocker mechanism that enables on-off functionality. The switch has two contacts wherein a flexible metal disc, attached to the actuator’s underside, acts as a bridge between the two contacts. Moving the rocker from side to side causes the metal disc to move correspondingly, thus making or breaking contact between the two contacts. Depending on the design, the actuator is equipped with a separate single or double pole actuating bar. For single pole actuating bars, the metal disc connects the two contacts directly when the actuator is switched. With double pole actuating bars, two flexible metal discs will bridge two corresponding sets of contacts. The SPDT rocker switch is mostly used in momentary contact applications. Momentary contact requires the metal disc to open the contacts when the actuator is released and close them upon action. The metal disc inside the actuator is slightly spring loaded so that the metal disc can open and close with minimal effort. The 7401J37CBE22 rocker switch is a popular and widely used SPND (Single Pole Double Throw) product. It is used in various medical, industrial, commercial, and entertainment devices. Furthermore, it has a reliable and robust design based on a rocker mechanism and momentary contact.
