G13KP-YB

Rocker switches, generally known as control switches, are used in a wide variety of electronic systems as they offer a higher degree of control and precision over connected devices or circuits. The G13KP-YB rocking switch is no exception.

This simple two-pole switch works by alternating the electrical connection to one of two positions, on or off. At its centre lies a hinge, suspending the switch’s rocker plate which holds the switch’s actuator (or paddle). The actuator is the component of the switch which is operated by the user. When rotating from one extreme to the other, it breaks the electrical connection from the device or circuit and makes a new connection elsewhere. This is why it is commonly referred to as a ‘rocker switch’ - because the actuator rocks back and forth between two connections on the rocker plate.

The wide range of uses for the G13KP-YB rocker switch come from its versatility, power supply capabilities and process time-saving properties. Some examples of how this switch is employed in the real world include:

• Automotive applications: Rocker switches are often used in car interior setups, most commonly where a user needs to switch between different options or settings. For example, the light switch inside of a car, which is installed somewhere conveniently located on the dash—usually near the centre console—, might be equipped with a rocker switch.

• Lighting systems: In order to provide a reliable, safe and electronic lighting system, a rocker switch can be used to turn lights on and off from a central location. Rocker switches are often used in commercial buildings, retail store lighting systems and industrial complexes.

• Security systems: Often found near entranceways, rocker switches can be used to activate and deactivate surveillance systems, connecting and disconnecting the cameras, motion detectors, and other security systems in a motion-sensitive framework. Rocker switches, as opposed to other options, can provide a more efficient and cost-effective security solution.

•Temperature management systems: The G13KP-YB is an incredibly versatile switch, lending itself to use in a range of applications, particularly in temperature management. In this application, a rocker switch can be used to control the temperature, power and various other functions associated with the system.

The working principle of a rocker switch is fairly straightforward, but it is still important to understand the fundamentals. When the actuator is moved left or right, a sudden change in electrical connection takes place. This change is created using a pair of contact breakers and a single electrical bridge between them. When the bridge snaps and breaks the contact, the circuit is opened and the current flow is disrupted. Once the actuator is release, the bridge snaps back into place, closing the circuit, restoring current and completing the on-off cycle. This rapid switching helps maintain the connection over long durations.

The G13KP-YB rocking switch is a great option for many applications, as it offers both reliability and accuracy in operation. The switch is also easy to install and use, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of purposes. As long as the offer electrical current to feed the gadget, the G13KP-YB can offer instant switching control in virtually any environment or application.
