C7001AFBW

Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are a type of mechanical switch commonly used in electronic and electrical projects. They have a variety of uses such as controlling the power supply to an appliance or providing a visual indication of an electrical circuit being activated. The C7001AFBW is a popular model of rocker switch.

C7001AFBW Application Field and Working Principle

The C7001AFBW rocker switch is commonly used in a range of projects as it is widely available, relatively cheap and easy to install. It is suitable for use in both domestic and commercial projects. It is a single-pole double throw (SPDT) switch, meaning it has two power connections, one power coming in (the input) and one power going out (the output), and is able to switch between the two. When the plunger is pushed, the power will come out the ‘ON’ side of the switch while, when the plunger is released, the power will come out the ‘OFF’ side of the switch.

The C7001AFBW rocker switch is able to work at voltage levels up to 250V, and is rated for currents up to 16A. It has a mechanical lifespan of up to 20,000 operations, which ensures it works reliably for long periods of time. It also has a minimum contact resistance of 10m Ω (milliohms), which ensures a reliable and efficient connection between the power supply and the device being controlled.

As well as its electrical rating, the C7001AFBW also features an IP55 rating which makes it waterproof. This makes it an ideal choice for applications in damp or wet environments and it is also resistant to dust, which adds further to its reliability and longevity.

The C7001AFBW is a very versatile and reliable rocker switch. Its SPDT configuration and range of electrical ratings mean it can be used for a wide range of applications. It is also designed to be waterproof, making it ideal for outdoor use. For these reasons, it is a popular choice for a range of electronic and electrical projects.
