LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A Rocker Switches Application Field and Working Principle

Rockers switches have vast applications fields for various places. LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A are rocker switches, a kind of rocker switches, which are a kind of control switches with two positions: ON and OFF. They can be used as a switches in many areas such as lighting control, motor control, computer hardware and automotive industry.

LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A are on-off rocker switches which feature a large size of two buttons. It is available in both SPST and SPDT configurations, and the operating voltage is 12V, 20A. It also has a 4-pole base and a variety of actuator options. The operation of the switch requires a low-voltage and current to light the ON state and enable the switch to operate.

The figure below shows a schematic diagram of the general construction and cross-section of the LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A.

The working principle of LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A is relatively simple. It consists of three components, which is the actuator, the contact, and the switching mechanism. The actuator is a movable part that is used to activate the switch. It is usually mounted on the panel and connected to the switching mechanism by a plastic or metal rod.

The contact is made up of two spring-loaded contactor parts. When the switch is in the OFF position, the contactor parts are pressed against each other by the spring force, keeping the circuit disconnected. When the actuator is pushed down, the two contactor parts move away from each other, allowing the electric current to flow through the gap, thus turning on the switch.

The switching mechanism is a metal disc which is connected to the actuator. When the actuator is pressed down, the metal disc moves too and turns the switch from the OFF position to the ON position.

LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A has numerous advantages over traditional rocker switches. It features superior electrical characteristics, such as low contact resistance, fast switching speed and better insulation. In addition, it is also more cost-effective compared to the traditional rocker switches, as the switching mechanism does not require as many contacts as the traditional ones.

In conclusion, LW3122/CUL-L4CF-A is a reliable and cost-effective rocker switch designed for a variety of applications, such as lighting control, motor control, computer hardware and automotive industry. It is available in both SPST and SPDT configurations, with a 4-pole base and a variety of actuator options. Its switching mechanism is based on the principle of pressing two contactor parts together or apart in order to switch the circuit on and off.
