Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are electrical switches that allow users to control power to a desired device. The switches work by allowing a user to “rock” or toggle the switch, using a rocking or sliding action to turn the power on or off. Sometimes these switches are also called toggle switches. Rocker switches are a versatile, low-cost type of switch well-suited for light use in low-voltage applications.

GW12LBV application field and working principle 

The GW12LBV is a type of rocker switch manufactured by Grayhill that is used in a variety of applications. The most common applications are in control panels and automation systems. The GW12LBV is a device that is designed to provide both on/off and momentary control.

The GW12LBV utilizes three poles and four terminals. The terminals are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. The first two connections are used to complete the on/off function. If a user connects the terminals 1 and 2 then the switch can be used to turn the device on and off. In order to provide momentary control, the user can connect terminal 3. This connection will allow the user to open and close the switch with a brief pulse of current.

The GW12LBV has a high capacity rating and its construction materials are corrosion-resistant and rated for high temperatures. Its energy surge ratings are also high, making it suitable for applications with frequent switching or surges. This rocker switch also features a wide range of ratings, including a 6A/60Vdc rating and a 16A/125VAC rating.

The GW12LBV is simple to install, featuring small size and mounting holes to make installation quick and easy. Additionally, the switch comes with a de-bouncing system that prevents the switch from going into a “false” position or get stuck before it reaches the true position. It also includes a patented failsafe system which allows the user to restore the switch back to an operational state even after extensive use.

Overall, the GW12LBV is a versatile rocker switch well-suited for use in a variety of light applications, including automation systems and control panels. Its construction materials provide durability and corrosion resistance, while its wide-range of ratings and de-bouncing system make it a reliable choice for many different types of applications. Additionally, the switch is simple to install, making it an ideal choice for those who want an easy installation process.
