G18KP-YA

Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are among the most widely used component in today’s electrical systems. They are used in a wide range of appliances and electrical circuits, including automobiles, home appliances and lighting systems. The G18KP-YA is a rocker switch that is specially designed to be used in various applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the G18KP-YA rocker switch.

Application Field

The G18KP-YA rocker switch offers a wide range of applications for a variety of electrical systems. It is designed to be used in circuits with a voltage not greater than 250V, a current no greater than 6~16A (depending on the model) and an environmental temperature range between -20 to +80℃. This wide range of applications allows it to be used in equipment and systems as varied as air conditioning systems, lighting systems, electric locks and even automotive systems.

Working Principle

The G18KP-YA rocker switch works in a simple manner. It is composed of two parts: the actuator, which is the part that is manipulated by the user; and the switch itself. When the actuator is moved, it makes contact with the switch, allowing the current to flow. The G18KP-YA switch also includes a micro switch with two separate contacts. When the actuator is pressed down completely, the micro switch will switch one contact off, while the second contact remains on, preventing the current from flowing. When the actuator is released, the micro switch will switch the previous contact back off and the new contact on, allowing the current to flow in a different direction.

Conclusion

The G18KP-YA rocker switch is a versatile component that can be used in many different applications. It is designed to be used in circuits with a voltage not greater than 250V, a current not greater than 6~16A and an environmental temperature range between -20 to +80℃. Its working principle is simple: when the actuator is moved, it makes contact with the switch, allowing the current to flow. With its wide range of applications and its simple working principle, the G18KP-YA is an excellent choice for many types of electrical systems.
