Rocker switches are a type of electrical switch that opens and closes an electrical circuit. Most rocker switches have two sides depending on their functionality, but other switches can have more than two sides. The MLW3018-12RB-1B is a basic two-sided rocker switch commonly used in various appliances. This article will discuss the MLW3018-12RB-1B application field and working principle.

Application Field

The MLW3018-12RB-1B is a rocker switch used for on-off switching. It is primarily used in industrial control, power supply, medical equipment, automobile and electronic devices applications. The switch is available in several voltage and current ratings, such as 6V-1A, 12V-2A, 24V-5A, and 48V-10A. This switch can be manually operated as well as automatically operated with its special design of power-on and power-off. Additionally, the switch is featured with high-quality materials, steady contact structure and reliable performance, which makes it widely used in various industrial machines, power supply equipment and electrical appliances.

Working Principle

The MLW3018-12RB-1B rocker switch operates by moving a physical lever or pushing a button to open and close the contact gap and complete the connection of two electrical parts. The switch contacts, which are made of silver or gold alloy, possess a material coating that creates a protective layer to protect the contacts from high burst current, arcing and arc erosion when the contact gaps are closed. Moreover, the MLW3018-12RB-1B also has a dustproof cover which can keep the contacts from dust, particle chips or other debris that can cause the contacts to wear down over time and thus reducing the lifetime of the switch.

Within the MLW3018-12RB-1B, the contact gap will open or close according to the pushing of the rod over the plastic or metal base. When the rod is pushed down, the contact gap will close and the electrical current will flow possibly activating the machine connected to the switch. Conversely, when the rod is released, the contact gap will open and the electrical current will be stopped. This contact gap can close and open multiple times depending on the use of the switch.

The MLW3018-12RB-1B rocker switch has a wide range of applications and is used in many areas. Its reliable performance, and its resistance to extreme current and dust, makes it a popular choice for many types of electronic devices and appliances. It is an essential piece of equipment in any electrical setup, and it is important to know and understand the basics of how it works.
