Rocker Switches

A rocker switch is one of many different types of switches found in electrical circuits. They are commonly used as on/off switches with a horizontal rocker that can be flipped up and down to open and close the circuit. The rocker switch typically comes with two pins, one which is open and one that is closed when the rocker is pushed down. When the rocker is flipped up the circuit is opened.

The 7401J37ZGE22 rocker switch is a miniature rocker switch that is commonly used in applications that require a small footprint and easy to operate switch. It is typically used for low current and low voltage switching applications, such as small consumer electronics, toys, and machine controls. This switch is also designed for PCB mounting and is rated for 5A at 250VAC.

Working Principle

The 7401J37ZGE22 is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) rocker switch, meaning it has two pins that it can be connected to, but only one at a time. When the rocker is pushed downward the two pins become connected, allowing the current to flow through the switch. When the switch is flipped upwards the two pins become disconnected, thus stopping the flow of current. The switch is designed with a single rocking lever that is raised or pushed down to make these connections.

Typical Applications

The 7401J37ZGE22 is a highly reliable, miniature rocker switch that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is used in small consumer electronics, toys, and machine controls. It is most commonly found in the following:

• Audio Equipment
• Lighting Control
• Industrial Control
• Telecommunications
• Office Automation
• Automotive Applications

Due to its compact design, the 7401J37ZGE22 rocker switch can be used in tight spaces where traditional switches may not fit. The switch is rated for up to 5A at 250VAC, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Conclusion

The 7401J37ZGE22 rocker switch is a miniature switch that is typically used for low current and low voltage switching applications. It is a single-pole, single-throw switch with a single rocking lever that is raised or pushed down to make a connection. The switch is rated for up to 5A at 250VAC and is commonly found in audio equipment, lighting control, industrial control, telecommunications, office automation, and automotive applications. The switch is designed for PCB mounting and is able to fit in tight spaces due to its small size.
