M2018TXW13-EH

Rocker switches, also known as rocker toggle switches, are commonly used to control electrical devices. The M2018TXW13-EH series of rocker switches are ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as switch boards and control panels.

Features and Benefits

• Easily identifiable with two marked positions, up and down
• Reliable snap action mechanism for quick operation
• Choice of normally open or normally closed functio
• Momentary or latching actuator options
• Multiple LED and insulating plastic options
• Manufactured in die-cast, aluminum alloy housing
• Integral wiring terminals for ease of installation.

Application Field and Working Principle

M2018TXW13-EH rocker switches are widely used in automotive, instrumentation, medical, electronic, and telecommunications applications. The housing is made of die-cast aluminum alloy and is designed with two marked positions; up and down. The actuator can be either latching or momentary, depending on the application.

The rocker switch works on the principle of mechanically transferring motion from the actuator to a set of internal electrical contacts. When the actuator is pressed, it will actuate the internal electrical contacts, making them complete the electrical circuit and providing power to the connected device. When the actuator is released, it will mechanically disconnect the internal electrical contacts, breaking the electrical circuit and turning off the power to the connected device.

Advantages

The M2018TXW13-EH rocker switches offer a number of advantages, such as:

• Reliability - The snap action mechanism ensures quick and reliable operation.
• Durability - The housing is made of robust die-cast aluminum alloy for superior durability.
• LED Options - The rocker switches are available with a variety of LED colors for illumination.
• Insulating Plastic - The rocker switches are available with a choice of insulated plastic colors.
• Easy Installation - The termination of the leads is done using integrated wiring terminals for easy installation.

Conclusion

M2018TXW13-EH rocker switches are ideal for use in a variety of applications, such as switch boards and control panels. With their reliable snap action mechanism and durable die-cast aluminum alloy housing, the M2018TXW13-EH series of rocker switches are designed to provide reliable and durable performance. Additionally, the LED and insulating plastic options offer further benefits for the application.
