A18KH-CG

Rocker switches, also known as toggle switches, are electromechanical switching devices used to control the flow of electric current in various electrical circuits. The A18KH-CG is a type of rocker switch designed to help provide both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic solutions to a variety of switch applications. They feature a variety of terminals, contact configurations, actuation forces, and materials, making them suitable for a range of applications.

A18KH-CG rocker switches are particularly popular for their adaptability and versatility in a range of settings, from residential light switches to industrial control devices. Their efficient pinning allows for efficiencies in applications requiring quick installation and removal, and making them extremely durable.

The primary components of the A18KH-CG rocker switch are the actuator and its associated mounting hardware. The actuator is the component that is manipulated to create a connection or break momentary contact. Depending on the application, the actuator could be anything from a paddle or toggle to a keypad. The actuator also contains the pins used to connect the device to the electrical supplies on either side of the switch.

A18KH-CG rocker switches typically feature insulation displacement technology (IDT) contacts. IDT contacts slidably connect the terminals of the switch, and feature a low contact resistance in most applications. Mounting hardware is usually available in form of a single or double-sided actuation, offering a variety of product solutions for particular applications.

When used with devices that have little or no mechanical components, the A18KH-CG rocker switch can provide a reliable and secure connection. In addition, it has proven particularly useful in medical devices, broadcast systems, and consumer electronics, offering a low-power connection in tight spaces. A variety of actuation and termination solutions are available to meet the specific needs of each application and environment.

A18KH-CG rocker switches are UL, CE, and e-mark compliant, and feature a low contact resistance, superior thermal and electrical stability, and a variety of contact configurations. The switches also feature an ability to carry up to 16A makes them suitable for use with heavy-duty applications such as industrial automation, power switching systems, and lighting control.

The A18KH-CG rocker switch is designed to meet the requirements of various applications and environments. Its wide range of actuation forces, contact configurations, and materials makes it both reliable and aesthetically pleasing. Its insulation displacement technology, low contact resistance, and UL, CE, and e-mark compliances make it a reliable choice for many applications.
