AML24EBA2AC02

Rocker Switches

AML24EBA2AC02 is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) illuminated Rocker Switch manufactured by Apem. This type of switch allows for either one or two circuits to be connected to one space by latching or unlatching the toggle mechanism. It is one of the most common types of switches found in domestic and industrial applications. Depending on the alignment of the switch, the chosen circuit may be powered on or off.

Application Fields of AML24EBA2AC02

Rocker switches are ubiquitous in a plethora of applications in both domestic and industrial spaces. Commonly it is used to control lights, power tools, automotive audio systems, and heater/coolers. In industrial applications, it is used to control overhead lighting and industrial machinery.

Working Principle of AML24EBA2AC02

The toggle of the AML24EBA2AC02 rocker switch works in a similar fashion to a mechanical lever. When the toggle is switched in one direction, one circuit is connected and when switched to the other direction, the other circuit is connected. This circuit switching is done by physically moving the actuator that is connected to the toggle between the two contact sets. The actuator can also be illuminated if a separate circuit is connected to the switch.

An AML24EBA2AC02 is typically constructed of two parts. A base and an actuator. The base contains a stamped contact and printed circuits board which acts as the contact and connection point for the actuator to attach. The actuator of the switch contains two contact sets and a toggle which move the contact between the two contact sets.

The contact sets that are connected to the two circuits are connected to either end of the toggle. When the toggle is moved to one side, one contact set is connected and when moved to the other side, the other contact set is connected. The surface of the toggle is designed to ensure a comfortable, tactile feel when the toggle is switched.

The AML24EBA2AC02 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications where it is necessary to switch between two circuits. It is a popular solution for both domestic and industrial applications, and its illuminated actuator ensures ease of use in darkness.
