JWS11RBB

Rocker Switches are commonly used as on/off switches, but their application field and working principle is a bit more complicated than that. The JWS11RBB rocker switch, for example, is a four-pin switch suitable for use in DC circuits. It is rated for a maximum current of 10 amps and a maximum voltage of 250 volts, and it has a wide variety of uses in both industrial automation and home automation applications.

The basic principle of a rocker switch is that its physical design allows it to use the pressure of the user’s finger to open and close different electrical connections. When a user presses down on the switch, one connection is broken, and when they release the switch, the connection is re-made. This action occurs no matter which direction the rocker switch is flipped.

The four-pin design of the JWS11RBB allows it to be used as a DPDT (double-pole, double-throw) switch. In this configuration, there are two separate contacts which can be opened and closed by the manipulation of the switch. This allows a wide range of applications, such as the control of two separate lights or power outputs, or the control of a motor in two directions.

Additionally, the JWS11RBB can also be used as a SIP (single-in-line) switch. In this configuration, the contacts are all connected in a single line and the switch effectively operates like a series switch. This allows for applications such as turning a group of lights or devices on and off with the flick of a switch. It is important to note that the JWS11RBB is not rated for switching AC circuits.

Finally, the JWS11RBB is UL and CSA approved, making it suitable for use in commercial applications. It can be used in any environment with an ambient temperature of between -20 and 85 degrees Celsius and a maximum relative humidity of 95%.

In conclusion, the JWS11RBB rocker switch is a powerful and reliable device which is suitable for a wide range of applications, but it is important to understand the principles of its operation and the ratings to ensure that its use will be safe and effective.
