LW3122-L4BD-A

Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are designed to control electrical devices. They are commonly found in home appliance, office equipment and industrial applications such as robotics. While there are several main types of rocker switch such as momentary push-button, toggle, latching and multi-pole, the LW3122-L4BD-A is a double pole double throw (DPDT) illumination LED rocker switch.

Application Field of LW3122-L4BD-A Rocker Switch

LW3122-L4BD-A rocker switches can be used to shut off a circuit in either direction with two-circuits. The two-circuits are connected to either terminal, depending on the direction the switch is flipped. The LW3122-L4BD-A can be used to switch on or off, such as wiring up motors, lighting, and other electrical devices. These switches are found in all sorts of electrical devices, from automobiles and washing machines to stereos and microwaves.

Working Principle of LW3122-L4BD-A Rocker Switch

LW3122-L4BD-A rocker switches are a form of mechanical switch that moves back and forth between two positions, to open and close a circuit, or to switch and route voltage from one circuit to another. This works by the switch having one contact for each position and connecting the contact to one of the two positions via an actuator and a push button with a roller arm attached to it. The actuator pushes the roller arm on one side when the button is pushed, and thus opens or closes the circuit. When the button is released, the roller arm returns to its original position and the circuit is either opened or closed, depending on the position of the roller arm.

Benefits of The LW3122-L4BD-A Rocker Switch

The LW3122-L4BD-A rocker switch is designed to continuously be switched on and off thousands of times, because of its durable construction. It is housed in an IP67 rated dust and waterproof enclosure, so it is designed to last and be reliable in various weather conditions, such as snow, rain, or dust. The LW3122-L4BD-A also has an illumination LED, and is available in several colors, enabling the user to select the most suitable color for their application. This feature creates a pleasant visual effect in either lit or dark conditions, depending on the switch position. The LW3122-L4BD-A also has a high electrical rating of 20A at 250VAC, so it is capable of handling larger quantities of power.

Conclusion

LW3122-L4BD-A rocker switches are a very versatile type of switch that is well suited for a variety of electrical applications. They are durable and waterproof and are able to handle a large amount of power with their 20A rating. They are also visually pleasing with the illuminated LED switch and come in multiple colors. All of these features make the LW3122-L4BD-A rocker switch an excellent choice for many types of electrical projects.
