LW3122-K4FG-A

Rocker Switches

A rocker switch is a type of switch with an actuator that rocks back and forth when pressed. In its most basic form, a rocker switch can have two connections, up and down, that make the switch closed or open. Depending on the type, rocker switches can have more than two connections and have several other features. One common rocker switch is the LW3122-K4FG-A, a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) rocker switch with a minimum rating of 16A at 250V.

The LW3122-K4FG-A is a rocker switch commonly used in the HVAC and Refrigeration industries. It is rated 16A at 250V, meaning it can handle a maximum of 16A at up to 250V of AC or DC power. The switch is programmed with an actuator that rocks back and forth when pressed, providing an easy-to-use on/off operation. The LW3122-K4FG-A also features a 1/2" mounting hole, a modular design, and a special high-strength design with a built-in safety mechanism.

The LW3122-K4FG-A is often used to substitute simple toggle or rotary switches. Common applications of the LW3122-K4FG-A include general HVAC, refrigeration, vending machines, commercial cooking equipment, and home appliances. It is also often used for medical and marine equipment.

The LW3122-K4FG-A works off of a simple yet effective principle. When the actuator is pressed down, the switch is closed and current flows through the circuit. When the actuator is released, the switch opens, cutting off the current. The circuitry within the switch ensures that the current is cut off even if the user loses their grip on the switch while pressing it. This keeps the circuitry safe and prevents accidents.

The LW3122-K4FG-A is a versatile and reliable choice for most applications. It\'s rated for 16A at 250V, making it powerful enough for most needs. The rocker switch is easy to use, with an intuitive on and off action that is easy to understand. The built-in safety mechanism ensures that the circuit will be shut off even if the user lets go of the switch while pressing it. Overall, the LW3122-K4FG-A is a great choice for most home and commercial applications that require a simple but reliable switch.
