JWL21RC1A/U

Rocker switches are useful components of electric systems in a variety of applications. The JWL21RC1A/U rocker switch, with its multi-contact design, is particularly suitable for controlling, or switching, subcircuits with larger currents in electric machinery like motors, pumps, fans and the like. With a maximum rated current of 24A, 250V, this switch offers a high degree of safety, reliability and repeatability.

The JWL21RC1A/U rocker switch is composed of a high-insulation, black hard-plastic housing, with two silver-plated terminals at the top and two silver-plated terminals at the bottom - each of which can be used to control a subcircuit from a single switch. Inside the housing is a movable rocker mechanism with two contacts; one fixed contact and one movable contact. The rocker has a spring-loaded mechanism which returns it to its original position when not operated.

The JWL21RC1A/U rocker switch works on the principle of a mechanical link between two contacts inside the switch - a fixed contact and a movable contact. When the switch is in the "off" position, there is an open circuit between the two terminals. When operated, the contacts move together and make contact, closing the circuit and supplying power to the connected device.

The JWL21RC1A/U rocker switch is designed with insulation between the contacts and the housing, to prevent electrical conduction between them and ensuring complete safety when handling the switch. The contacts are plated with silver oxide, which slows the rate of corrosion, although silver oxide may still build up over time and may need to be cleaned periodically.

This rocker switch is commonly used in a variety of applications that require a reliable switching mechanism with a low current rating, such as electric pumps, motors, fans and certain audio/video equipment. Its compact design also allows it to fit into a variety of tight and confined spaces, making it a great choice for applications where space is a constraint.

The JWL21RC1A/U rocker switch is a versatile component in the fields of communications, electric power, electronic control and industrial automation, among others. Its easy installation and reliable switching make it suitable for a variety of applications that require reliable, safe and low-current controls.
