MLW3020-12RG-1A Application Field and Working Principle

Rocker switches are push-button control switches that are used in a variety of applications, including automobile consoles, entertainment systems, and machine control panels. The MLW3020-12RG-1A is a two-position illuminated rocker switch with a latching action. It has an ergonomic design to reduce user fatigue and is rated with a minimum of 12A at 250VAC.

The switch consists of two hub pins and two contacts separated by an insulation barrier. The hub pins are connected to the contacts by a thin metal wire that runs through the center of the switch. When the switch is activated, the metal wire closes the connection between the two contacts and provides power to whatever is connected to the switch. This can be used to turn on an appliance or power a light or motor.

The MLW3020-12RG-1A has a separate LED light at the center of the switch. This LED illuminates when the connection is made, so the user knows that the switch is actively engaged. The LED is powered by a separate circuit, which is connected to the hub pin of the switch. When the switch is activated, the LED circuit is completed and the light illuminates.
