Rocker switches are commonly found in homes and businesses as a way to control power to lights, appliances, as well as other equipment. In addition to the conventional on-off toggle switches, rocker switches also have handy momentary action versions that allow for short, temporary power control of time-sensitive applications. In certain applications, where it is important to physically visually verify a switch\'s power status, rocker switches with LED indicators can be installed.

D101J12S215QA rocker switches are a miniature version of full-size toggle switches, typically used in places where space is a usual, or when it is necessary to minimize the device\'s footprint. The miniature size of these switches adds to their versatility, allowing them to be installed into tight spaces, making them a popular choice in the industrial, automotive, military, and medical markets.

These rocker switches use an electrically-actuated mechanism in order to switch power with SPDT (single pole double throw) and SPST (single pole single throw) configurations. Some switches include an illumination feature, as a visual indicator of position ON and/or OFF. There are also versions that feature mechanical latching, which requires a subsequent push on the switch in order to return to the original position.

In terms of specifications, D101J12S215QA rocker switches typically feature a rated current of 5A and a voltage ranging between 16 to 250V AC and 3 to 125V DC. When using electrical switches, it is essential that they operate safely. That is why they are typically tested in accordance to UL, CSA and CQC safety standards.

D101J12S215QA rocker switches offer a design that can be installed in a variety of applications and environments. They can be either installed in a surface mount application, or on a traditional through-hole design. They are also available in multiple colors for differentiation and customization. In certain applications, D101J12S215QA rocker switches can come with waterproof covers for protection against dirt, dust, and moisture.

The working principle of a D101J12S215QA rocker switch is simple. When the actuator (rocker) is pressed down, the switch\'s contact is energized. When the customer releases the actuator, the contact remembers the previously activated state, and no action is taken.

D101J12S215QA rocker switches can be used in a variety of applications, such as building automation, military, telecom equipment, white goods, vending machines, medical and audio-video equipment, and gaming. In industrial applications, they are usually used in connection with pumps, motor control and other similar equipment.

In summary, D101J12S215QA rocker switches offer a reliable way to switch power in light-, medium- and heavy-duty applications, and provide a visually-verifiable on/off status. They are available in multiple colors and mechanical latching varieties, providing the customer the versatility to choose a design that best suits the application\'s requirements.
