GRS-2011-2002 Datasheet/PDFRocker switches are devices commonly used to control the flow of electricity through a circuit. They are mechanical switching devices that are operated by a toggling action, can be used to both control and monitor electrical circuits, and are widely used in a range of industrial and domestic applications. The GRS-2011-2002 rocker switch is a typical example of such a switch, and this article will look at its design and working principle.
Design of the GRS-2011-2002 Rocker Switch
The GRS-2011-2002 rocker switch is a single-pole, double-throw switch, commonly known as an SPDT switch. The basic design of the switch consists of a plastic housing with an embedded rocker arm and two flat contact plates. The rocker arm is connected to the terminals of the contact plates, which are connected respectively to the input and output lines of the circuit. When the rocker arm is pressed down, one of the contacts is activated and the other is deactivated.
The design of the GRS-2011-2002 switch is such that it can be used in a variety of environments, including in wet and dusty locations. The casing is made from a durable plastic material which is resistant to corrosion and has an IP68 rated dust and waterproof integrity rating. The contacts are made from a hard wearing material which can withstand a large amount of current, up to 16A.
Installation of the GRS-2011-2002 Rocker Switch
The GRS-2011-2002 is designed to be easily installed and replaceable. The switch comes with two mounting holes, which can be used to mount it to any suitable surface. The contacts of the switch have a simple curved design which makes it easy to install, allowing the user to assemble the switch quickly and easily.
The switch is designed for a variety of applications, and can be used in both AC and DC electrical systems. It can be used to control the flow of electricity to a motor, light, or other device, and can be used to control the flow of current within a circuit, allowing the user to turn a device on or off. The switch has a built in overcurrent protection which prevents it from being overloaded and causing damage to the circuit.
Working Principle of the GRS-2011-2002 Rocker Switch
The GRS-2011-2002 is a simple but effective rocker switch which operates by mechanically switching the contacts between the open and closed position as the rocker arm is toggled. When the arm is in the ‘open’ position, no current will flow through the contacts, and when the arm is switched to the ‘closed’ position, current will be allowed to flow. The contacts are designed to prevent sparks from occurring when the switch is in the closed state, which helps to prevent fires and explosions in hazardous areas.
The switch also has an LED indicator, so the user can easily tell when the switch is turned on. The LED indicator also provides a visual indication of the current state of the rocker switch; when it is illuminated it indicates that the switch is closed, and when it is not illuminated it indicates that the switch is open.
Conclusion
The GRS-2011-2002 rocker switch is a simple and effective switching device, which can be used in a wide range of applications. It is designed for easy installation, and has features such as an LED indicator and overload protection, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and domestic applications. Its ability to withstand large currents, as well as its dust and waterproof rating make it an ideal switch for use in hazardous or harsh environments.
