GW12RHP

Rocker Switches

The GW12RHP rocker switch is a popular choice for a wide array of applications requiring manual switching and control. It is designed to offer excellent durability and reliability. This rocker switch contains an integrated actuator and contact parts and has a low overall profile. It is suitable for use in many different industries, including industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications.

Rocker switches are typically divided into two basic types based on their construction. There are those that have a mechanical or spring contact design and those that have a non-mechanical design. The GW12RHP rocker switch has a mechanical design, with a single-pole design that allows for independent switching capabilities. It utilizes a rolling contact system to provide for a reliable connection. The contact points are gold plated for added durability and corrosion resistance. The actuator is made from polycarbonate which ensures excellent impact and damage resistance.

The GW12RHP rocker switch is designed to be used in both on and off-state applications. It is capable of handling currents up to 20 amps and operating voltages up to 125Vdc. It is rated to IP66 making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. The GW12RHP also meets UL, CE, and RoHS requirements.

The working principle of this rocker switch is quite simple. When the switch is in the off state, the contact points remain in contact. When the switch is actuated, the contact points open and close. This creates an on/off state which can be used to activate or deactivate a signal or circuit. The switch also features a PCB mounting pattern, making installation easy and efficient.

The GW12RHP rocker switch is a popular and reliable choice for a variety of applications requiring manual switching and control. Its mechanical design, low profile, and IP66 rating make it highly suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is also easy to install thanks to its PCB mounting pattern, making it ideal for a wide array of projects.
