AML24EBA3BA01

Rocker Switches

A rocker switch is a type of switch that uses a lever or rocker mechanism to actuate it. They are generally used in automotive, marine, industrial, and avionic applications. This article will focus on one such switch, the AML24EBA3BA01, and its application field and working principles.

Application Field

The AML24EBA3BA01 is a rocker switch with a long body for automotive applications. It has a voltage rating of 16A, which makes it suitable for use in car lighting, headlamps, turn signal lamps, door locks, and window lifts. It also has a wide operating temperature range (-20 to 85 °C), making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Working Principle

The AML24EBA3BA01 has two sets of contacts. When the rocker lever is pushed one way, the first set of contacts is closed and power is supplied to the device that the switch is controlling. When the lever is depressed the other way, the second set of contacts is closed, allowing power to flow to a different device.

The contacts are mounted on an insulated air frame, which prevents them from touching each other when the lever is in the middle position, thus preventing power from flowing to either device. When the switch is depressed either way, the contacts on the air frame slide across each other and make contact, thus allowing power to flow to either device.

Conclusion

The AML24EBA3BA01 is a rocker switch with a long body for automotive applications. It has a voltage rating of 16A and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for a wide range of uses. It works by two sets of contacts that are activated when the rocker lever is depressed either way, allowing power to flow to either of two devices.
