M2022TJW03 Datasheet/PDFRocker Switches
Rocker switches are a type of on-off switch that is operated by a rocker mechanism, a system of levers and springs connecting two opposing pivots. The rocker switch is mounted in the middle of the mechanism and is actuated by pressing one end of the rocker in one direction or another, which forces the other side to swing in the opposite direction and activates the switch. The rocker switch can be used to control many different electrical devices and equipment, from computers and other electronic devices to lights, appliances, and motors. Rocker switches are typically used because they are simple to operate, are easy to mount into many different types of control panels, and provide a tactile feel that can easily be felt by the user.
M2022TJW03 Application Field and Working Principle
The M2022TJW03 Rocker Switch is a two-pole, two-position switch with a threaded available for mounting. This switch has an electrical rating of 10 amps at 250 volts AC and 5 amps at 120 volts DC. The current rating of this switch is suitable for low-power applications.
The M2022TJW03 Rocker Switch is designed for wide application in on/off switching applications. This switch features a rocker-style actuator with a snap-in fastening for control panels and control boards. It also features two integrated LEDs for easy status indication. This feature is particularly useful when the switch is used in dark places or when the user can’t easily discern the switch position. To further simplify switch status indication, the switch’s LED indicators are tinted yellow and green to signify on and off settings, respectively.
The M2022TJW03 Rocker Switch also features a shorting action whereby when the device is cycled, the center contact is shorted to brass and the outer contacts are shorted to nickel. This avoids sparking and arcing, reducing the potential of electrical stalling or failure. By eliminating arcing, this product is suitable for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations.
The M2022TJW03 Rocker Switch has several features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications. This switch is UL recognized, CSA certified and has a built-in thermoplastic resettable lever for effective heat dissipation. It is made from durable materials and environmental-friendly materials for long lasting performance and it has proven reliable in severe temperatures and harsh environments. It also features a strong operational mechanism, which makes it suitable for mounting in difficult environments. Additionally, its easy installation makes it suitable for different types of electric devices, including medical and scientific equipment, industrial and automotive applications, consumer electronics, and more.
The M2022TJW03 Rocker Switch offers safe, reliable and long-lasting performance in a wide range of applications. With its high current rating, rocker mechanism, and integrated LEDs, this switch is perfect for on/off switching and status indication. This switch is suitable for use in Class 1 and Division 2 hazardous locations and its thermoplastic construction ensures it will stand up to harsh environments.
