JWL11RAA

Rocker Switches

Rocker Switches are a type of electromechanical switch commonly used in electronics and other applications. The JWL11RAA is a particular type of rocker switch which features a 11 pin terminal connection and a rated current of 20A. This type of switch is typically used for controlling motors, lights, and other accessories.

A rocker switch consists of two sets of terminals which are internally connected to form a circuit. The two sets of terminals are mounted on a single frame, and when the switch is actuated one of the sets of terminals is connected to the other. This causes the current to flow between the two sets of terminals thereby completing the circuit. The switch can be actuated by means of a lever or a push button.

The rocker switch is composed of a switch body, a rocker actuator and a rocker arm. The rocker actuator comprises a plunger, spring, nut and washer. The rocker arm is a lever which is connected to the plunger. When the rocker arm is actuated the plunger moves up or down depending on the direction of the rocker movement.

When the rocker switch is in the off position the contacts remain open, thereby disconnecting the two sets of terminals. When the switch is in the on position the contacts close, connecting the two sets of terminals and allowing current to flow. The current flow is regulated by the resistance of the switch, thus preventing high current from passing through the switch and damaging the connected components.

The JWL11RAA rocker switch offers a variety of features, such as a rated current of 20A, a wide range of differential resistance values and a fully insulated construction. The insulation ensures that there is no direct contact between the two sets of terminals, thereby preventing potential sparking and arching. The switch also features LED status indicators which alert the user when the switch is in the off or on state.

The JWL11RAA rocker switch is mainly used in the industrial, medical, automotive and consumer electronics applications. It is commonly used to control motors, lights and other accessories in these applications. The switch provides reliable and consistent performance, even in the most demanding conditions.
