A8GS-P1185

Rocker switches are a type of switch with a rocker actuator, consisting of a fixed hard-shell housing and two or more hard, durable surfaces that press and release a switch or circuit. A8GS-P1185 is a kind of rocker switch, which has excellent performance and is widely used in various application fields, with a simple and intuitive working principle.

Application Field

A8GS-P1185 rocker switch has a wide variety of application fields, such as industrial, home appliance, instrument and meter, energy, motor and auto industry, telecommunication and network, medical device and many more. With its superior performance, this switch is suitable for use in harsh environment, as it can withstand high vibration, corona, water/dust/UV resistance and other extreme conditions.Moreover, the A8GS-P1185 has a high current load of 0.2~16A, making it suitable for applications with high current, including the high current power charging and discharging systems, LED application, home appliance etc. Moreover, the A8GS-P1185 is available in different contact configurations and ratings, satisfying the needs of different applications.

Working Principle

The A8GS-P1185 by itself is just an inert piece of plastic that has no power, and its working principle is driven by the actuator. When pressed, the actuator pushes a button that is connected to contacts inside the switch, which in turn activates a mechanical or electrical circuit. The rivet of the actuator is connected to a floating contact, which needs to be pressed with a certain pressure to make the switch work properly.In other words, the A8GS-P1185 switch works by turning on or off a current or voltage with a fixed pressure. Besides regular ON/OFF switch, there are some advanced switches that are designed with a rocker actuation to make it more user-friendly and convenient. Meanwhile, this switch type can be used as a reset button, allowing users to reset the system if needed.

Conclusion

A8GS-P1185 is a widely used rocker switch with excellent performance. With its wide application field and simple and intuitive working principle, it is suitable for applications with high current, as well as reset switch for system needs. Therefore, it is one of the most popular switch choices for various kinds of application.
