Rocker switches are devices used to control the operation of electrical equipment and machines, including various types of lights, air conditioners, and other appliances. The A8A-226 is a model of rocker switch specifically designed for on/off control applications. It uses an electrical contact to open or close a circuit or an electrical connection. This paper will discuss the application field and operating principle of the A8A-226.

Application Field

The A8A-226 is a single-pole, single-throw rocker switch that can be used to control either AC or DC equipment. It is commonly used for a variety of applications, including controlling lights, fans, pumps, and other appliances. The A8A-226 is ideal for a variety of residential and commercial uses, including restaurant refrigeration, pump control, light switches, and other applications. The switch is UL rated for safety, so it is safe for use in homes, businesses, and other places.

Working Principle

The A8A-226 rocker switch is designed to work as a simple on/off switch. It has two terminals and two positions. When the switch is in the up position, it makes an electrical contact between the two terminals and this contact remains intact until the switch is pushed downward. When the switch is pushed down, the electrical contact is broken and the two terminals are no longer connected.

This basic design allows the switch to control currents of up to five amps, with a voltage rating of 16 AC/DC or 250V AC. The enclosed design also prevents accidental contact with the terminals for additional safety. The durable construction also means that the A8A-226 can withstand repeated switching operations and provide years of reliable service.

Conclusion

The A8A-226 rocker switch is a versatile component that is useful in a wide range of applications. It is designed to be safe and provide years of reliable service. The simple design and well-built construction make the A8A-226 suitable for residential and commercial uses. This switch is ideal for controlling pumps, lights, fans, and other equipment.
