Rocker switches have been around for decades, but when it comes to meeting the stringent requirements of the industrial market, few come close to the M2T18TXG13/328-DA. This middle-of-the-range rocker switch features a robust design, great quality and an economical price, making it the perfect choice for a variety of professional applications.

The M2T18TXG13/328-DA is an illuminated rocker switch designed to switch 20A at 125V AC, or 28A at 12V DC. It has two independent circuits (SPST or SPDT) with momentary or maintained contacts, and two independent light sources, either LED or incandescent.

The illuminated power symbol provides the user with feedback, telling them when the switch is in the ‘on’ position. The M2T18TXG13/328-DA has memory, meaning the switch will maintain its ‘on’ position even after the power has been removed, until the user manually switches it to the ‘off’ position.

The switch also features waterproof construction, with a silicone rubber gasket offering protection from water and dust. Additionally, the switch has an IP67 rating, meaning it is suitable for outdoor and wet areas where moisture and water ingress may be a concern.

The M2T18TXG13/328-DA is ideal for a range of professional, industrial and residential applications, including automotive, marine, industrial control, home automation and solar power, among others.

The switch is also a popular choice for appliance control, thanks to its robust, weather-resistant design and its ability to handle high voltages. The switch also offers numerous other advantages, including being able to handle a large range of temperatures (from -25°C to +85°C) and having snap-in or screw-on mounting.

Working Principle

Rocker switches, such as the M2T18TXG13/328-DA, are based on the principle of electromechanical switching. When the switch is in the ‘on’ position, it makes contact between two terminals, and when it is in the ‘off’ position, it breaks contact between the two terminals.

The switch itself is housed in a protective plastic or metal casing and consists of two flat pieces of material separated by a gap. The gate, a metal plate, is held in place by a spring. When the switch is pressed or flipped, either the circuit is completed or the gate is released, allowing the power to flow and the switch to light up.

The M2T18TXG13/328-DA also has a ‘lock’ feature, which allows the user to hold the switch in the ‘on’ position by pressing the gate down and releasing it when the switch is in the ‘off’ position. This ensures that the switch remains in the ‘on’ position when it is not physically engaged.

Finally, the M2T18TXG13/328-DA also has a ‘Normally Closed’ contact, which means that the switch is ‘off’ when the contacts are closed and ‘on’ when the contacts are open. This means that when power is applied to the terminals, the switch will be in the ‘on’ position and will remain there until the power is removed.

The M2T18TXG13/328-DA is one of the most popular rocker switches on the market, offering an excellent combination of durability, reliability, ergonomics and price. As a result, it is a popular choice in a wide range of professional and industrial applications.
