JWL21RB1B/UCV Application Field and Working Principle Classification for Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are widely used in electronic appliances, no matter it is used for lighting control or electrical circuit control. JWL21RB1B/UCV is one of the popular types of rocker switches. This article is dedicated to expounding its application field and the working principle.

What is the Application Field of JWL21RB1B/UCV Rocker?

The JWL21RB1B/UCV rocker switches are produced in order to meet many of the worldwide safety standards, such as UL, CSA, VDE and ENEC. It is designed as a great solution for providing on/off switching control of household electrical appliances, household appliances, and industrial machinery. This type of rockers is able to withstand a maximum voltage of 16A/125VAC, making it well suited for applications that require high power handling such as motors, heating and air conditioning systems.

In addition to being UL certified, the JWL21RB1B/UCV rockers are also CSA 60730 certified. This provides peace of mind in knowing that when the switch is used in a home or business it will meet the highest requirements for safety. As well, it is customizable with various options such as momentary or alternate action and/or single, double or triple pole ratings.

How Does JWL21RB1B/UCV Rocker Switches Work?

Rocker switches provide an effective way of controlling an appliance. With JWL21RB1B/UCV series, there are two positions. On one side is the light switch off position and the other side is the light switch on. When the user pushes the switch forward it completes a circuit, which then powers up the appliance. When the switch is moved to the off position the circuit is open and the appliance is no longer powered.

The power to the appliance is provided by the current carrying contacts, which remain closed when the switch is in the on position. This is done by a spring loaded mechanical link and a self-extracting tab that act as the contacts. There is also a plastic and metal cap on the switch which acts to prevent accidental closure of the contacts keeping the appliance safe. When the switch is turned off the self-extracting tab is pulled away from the circuit breaking the power connection.

Conclusion

JWL21RB1B/UCV rocker switches are a reliable rocker switch that can safely handle 16A/125VAC, commonly used in many electrical appliances, such as home appliances and industrial machinery. It is designed to meet worldwide safety standards and is customizable with various options such as momentary or alternate action and/or single, double or triple pole ratings. In addition, it works by providing on/off switching control with the two positions on the switch, and when switched off, the circuit is broken by a self-extracting tab.
