FMC12A2600000

Rocker switches actuate an electrical circuit by manual pressure applied to a lever. More specifically, FMC12A2600000 is a panel mount rocker switch that connects an electrical circuit by pressing a lever down. As this type of switch is typically characterized by two positions, the device acts as a two-way switch. Depending on how it is mounted, the lever and its accompanying circuit can be switched on and off separately or at the same time.

Typically, the panel mount rocker switch has a single pole double-throw switch configuration and is designed with a “long-life” manufactured frame. This makes it particularly suitable for operating in hazardous environments. The FMC12A2600000 model is available in three different configurations: open/open, normally open/normally closed, and normally closed/normally open.

One of the primary advantages of the panel mount rocker switch is its use of insulation. This helps reduce the risk of electric shock and makes it more appealing in environments that require specialized safety measures. Another benefit is that the switch can be locked in place and adjusted to fit any panel size. Furthermore, it is designed to be easy to switch on and off.

Most panel mount rocker switches are rated as high-power options, meaning they can safely handle a significant amount of power. This makes them suitable in numerous applications like controlling industrial machinery, providing electric fan control, and in medical imaging systems. The FMC12A2600000 model, in particular, is a suitable 15A, 120/277VAC rated device designed for dry locations and can be used in damp or wet locations thanks to an NEMA3R-rated thermoplastic clear cover.

The working principle of FMC12A2600000 panel mount rocker switch is relatively simple. Its dual pole switch makes it a two-way switch and other operational electrical components like capacitors, resistors, and bridge rectifiers. operate to make it make electrically active when the lever is locked in either \'on\' or \'off\' mode. It also has a built-in \'fail-safe\' feature which prevents the switch from damaging itself in the event of a short circuit. When the power supply is opened, the contacts will open up to prevent overloading and reduce the risk of electric shock.

To sum it up, FMC12A2600000 panel mount rocker switch provides an effective solution for applications in hazardous environments. It has an ergonomic design that makes it easy to operate and is equipped with insulation to reduce the risk of electric shock. Outstanding features such as a locking-type action and the fail-safe feature make it a premier choice for many applications.
