Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are a type of electro-mechanical switch which is actuated by a rocking mechanism for activating, switching, or controlling two circuits. They are commonly used in applications that require an easy to operate directional switch, such as powering a device on and off or controlling the direction of a robotic system. The AML36FBB4AA01 rocker switch is one particular example of this type of switch.

Application Field

Rocker switches like the AML36FBB4AA01 can be found in a variety of industrial, commercial and consumer applications. They are commonly used to control electrical devices, such as fans and pumps, as well as robotic systems and other machines. Additionally, they can be used in low voltage DC and AC electrical applications, such as in cars, boats and planes.

Working Principle

In general, rocker switches operate when a small amount of pressure is applied to the switch. This pressure can take the form of a gentle push or a more forceful movement, depending on the type of switch and the desired action. When the switch moves, it causes the contacts inside the switch to move as well, which can either open or close the circuits in the switch. In the case of the AML36FBB4AA01 rocker switch, it is designed to control two circuits, meaning that the contact positions will open and close two circuits when the control is actuated. Additionally, the switch itself is made of a plastic housing which contains the contacts and provides insulation.

Rocker switches like the AML36FBB4AA01 are relatively simple to install and operate, making them a popular choice for engineers and technicians working in a variety of industries. Their reliability and versatility make them a great choice for any application that requires the easy operation of a directional switch.
