Working Principle

The LW3122/U-0100-A rocker switch consists of two parts, the actuator and the contacts. The actuator is a movable member consisting of a rocker or other mechanism, which when operated mechanically or electrically, moves the contacts. The contacts for this type of switch are made of silver-containing nickel, which provides superior electrical contact performance.

When electrical loads are connected to the switch, the contacts remain in contact until the actuator is moved to its off position, which is when the contacts open up. Once the switch is activated by the user, the contacts close again, allowing electricity to flow through the system. In essence, the switch opens and closes the circuit when the rocker is moved.

The LW3122/U-0100-A rocker switch is rated for up to 5 amps and can operate up to 125°C, allowing it to be used with confidence in a variety of applications. It also has a maximum 30,000 cycle life, ensuring it can be used for many years without a need for replacement.

Conclusion

The LW3122/U-0100-A switch is a reliable, economical, and versatile switch that can be used in a variety of applications. It is particularly well suited for applications in the automotive and RV industries, as well as in industrial equipment and automation systems. Its superior electrical contact performance and high operating temperature make it ideal for long-lasting applications even in the toughest environments.
