A8GS-C1285

A8GS-C1285 rocker switches, also known as toggling switches, are knob-like switches used to control a range of electrical equipment. These switches can be used in a variety of applications in industrial, commercial and residential applications, ranging from controlling lights to managing signals.The A8GS-C1285 rocker switch is composed of a base, an actuator, a contact frame and a terminal. The base is essentially a plastic housing with a metal contact frame at the top and a plastic connector at the bottom to safely connect the switch to the power system. The contact frame typically contains a metal contact tip and a metal spring-loaded contact arm. The arm is connected to the actuator and is responsible for opening and closing the switch, which in turn controls the electrical current passing through the system.The A8GS-C1285 rocker switch has two positions. One is the "on" position in which the metal arm is pressed to the same side as the contact tip and the other is the "off" position where the arm is pulled away from the contact tip. The position of the switch can be easily and accurately changed by pressing or pulling the actuator knob. When the knob is pressed, the contact arm is pushed against the contact tip which closes the switch while releasing the knob opens the switch.The A8GS-C1285 rocker switch is commonly used for controlling electrical systems, such as light switches, power switches, window blinds, fans and smoke alarms. The design of the switch is such that it can handle higher currents than most other rocker switches, which makes it suitable for heavier-duty applications. Additionally, the switch is self-grounded and does not require any additional ground connection making it simple and easy to install.In terms of applications, A8GS-C1285 rocker switches can be used in industrial, commercial and residential buildings for various applications. In industrial applications, they are often used to control motor starters and valves. In commercial buildings, they can be used to control lighting systems, signals and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In residential applications, they can be used to control lights, fans, motors, window blinds and alarm systems.Overall, the A8GS-C1285 rocker switch is a reliable and cost-effective switch with a wide range of applications in industrial, commercial and residential settings. The switch is self-grounded and can handle heavy-duty applications, making it a versatile and convenient choice for controlling electrical systems.
