Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are most commonly used as power switches due to their simplicity. The MLW3012-12-PC-1A is an example of a double pole rocker switch that can be used to control many devices. The MLW3012-12-PC-1A has a total of four pins and a contact rating of 16A @ 277V. This makes it ideal for high current applications.

Application Field

The MLW3012-12-PC-1A rocker switch is designed for a variety of applications. It can be used for power switches in industrial and commercial settings, including equipment control and lighting control. Additionally, rocker switches are often used in automotive settings, such as for interior and exterior lighting, and for power windows. The double pole design of the MLW3012-12-PC-1A also makes it ideal for lighting circuits that use two separate line currents.

Working Principle

A rocker switch consists of a flat plate that is divided into two different sections. When the plate is pushed in either direction, a connection is made between one of the two pins at that end. The MLW3012-12-PC-1A has four pins, two on either end which makes it a double pole rocker switch. This double pole design allows the user to control two separate circuits by pushing the switch in either direction.

When the flat plate of the MLW3012-12-PC-1A is pushed in either direction, it causes a current to flow through either of the two pins at that end. This current then follows the circuit connected to that pin and performs the desired action. When the switch is released, the current is rerouted and the circuit is reset.

Safety Considerations

When using the MLW3012-12-PC-1A or any other rocker switch, it is important to take safety into consideration. The maximum current rating of the MLW3012-12-PC-1A is 16A @ 277V. If a higher current is attempted to be used, it could cause damage to the switch and even start a fire. Additionally, it is important to use the switch in an electrical circuit that is properly shielded and grounded. This will help to prevent the current from causing any unintended electrical damage.

Conclusion

The MLW3012-12-PC-1A is a double pole rocker switch that can be used in a variety of applications. Its high current rating and double pole design makes it ideal for industrial and automotive settings. When using the switch, it is important to take safety into consideration as the current rating must not be exceeded and the circuit must be properly shielded and grounded.
