H8553VBBG3-551W

Rocker switches have been widely used in consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive, test and measurement products, process control and military applications due to their simple design and convenient operation. The H8553VBBG3-551W is a rocker switch that is ideal for low- to mid-volume applications. In this article, we will examine the H8553VBBG3-551W’s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The H8553VBBG3-551W is a professional grade rocker switch suitable for various applications. The most common is automotive, where they are used to control functions such as lights, wipers, exterior mirrors and other accessories. This switch is also suitable for industrial processes and buildings, e.g. controlling process parameters and lighting systems. Additionally, it can be used in consumer electronics and medical equipment for process control and system control.

Working Principle

The H8553VBBG3-551W rocker switch is operated by pushing a lever back and forth. When the lever is pushed to one side, the connection between the terminals is closed and a current is established between the two private terminals. When the lever is pushed to another side, the terminals are disconnected and the current is interrupted. This basic operation is the same for all types of rocker switches, including the H8553VBBG3-551W.

The H8553VBBG3-551W rocker switch has a lower resistance rating than other similar type switches, thus it is more suitable for higher current applications. It has a nominal capacity of up to 16A at 250VAC, with a power range of 10-500W. This is higher than the standard 10A rating of other models and ensures a stable connection even at high currents. The H8553VBBG3-551W is also rated IP65, which means it is dust and water resistant.

When the switch is used in applications requiring multiple inputs, a series of the H8553VBBG3-551W can be used. The switches can be wired in parallel or in series to control multiple circuits or processes independently. This makes it ideal for process control, multi-input systems and window switch applications.

In conclusion, the H8553VBBG3-551W is a professional grade rocker switch suitable for low- to mid-volume applications, including automotive, industrial and consumer electronics. It has a low resistance rating, excellent power handling capacity, and IP65 rating. The switch can be used with multiple inputs and is suitable for process control, multi-input systems and window switch applications.
