Rocker Switches: A8GS-C1385 Application Field and Working Principle

Rocker switches are electromechanical switches consisting of an actuator and a contact block. They can control either a single circuit or multiple circuits. The A8GS-C1385 is a type of round-shaped rocker switch made with a strengthened PBT plastic base, which has a single pole and single throw (SPST) configuration. It is rated at 10A 125VAC, 6A 250VAC, 3A 27VDC and 1/2HP 250VAC. This switch is UL and CUL approved.

The A8GS-C1385 is used in a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, vehicle interiors, systems for medical treatments, and automotive applications. It can be used to switch between one or multiple circuits as it helps reduce wiring complexity. It is also used in lighting and appliances, security alarms, and other residential and commercial applications.

The working principle of the A8GS-C1385 is simple. When the actuator is pressed, it moves the contact block. This triggers the opening or closing of a circuit, allowing an electrical current to pass through. The connection is controlled by an internal spring that releases the contact block when the actuator is released. This switch can be used as a momentary switch, staying on until the actuator is released or as a latching switch, staying on after the actuator is released. With its compact designs, it is ideal for applications where space is at a premium

The A8GS-C1385 is a versatile and efficient rocker switch and can be used in a variety of applications. It is designed to meet the needs of consumer electronics, vehicle interiors, and other applications both residential and commercial. This switch is easy to install and use, and its small size makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. In addition, its rugged construction, UL and CUL approval, and 10A/6A/3A/1/2HP ratings make it an ideal choice for any application.
