The PRASA1-16L-BB000 is a type of rocker switch, which is a switch operated by pressing a lever, like the switch on the side of a computer mouse. This type of switch has a wide range of applications in various industries, and its working principle is relatively simple.

Overview

Rocker switches take their name from their appearance: they are two-position switches designed to look like the rocking of a lever, much like the switch on a computer mouse. The switch can be “on” or “off” depending on the direction the lever is placed.

The PRASA1-16L-BB000 is a low-power, high-current switch with a 6.3mm wide base and a wide variety of contact configurations. Its rated for up to 16A current at a voltage up to 250V, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical applications.

Applications

Rocker switches are found in many everyday appliances, from computers and entertainment systems, to major industrial machinery. The PRASA1-16L-BB000 is particularly well-suited for applications requiring a switch with a high current rating, such as power supplies, motor switches, and various other industrial control applications. Other common applications include switch panels, electronics enclosures, and circuit breakers.

Working Principle

The working principle of a rocker switch is quite simple. When the lever is pressed down, the two metal contacts, called “rockers,” come together and complete the circuit. This causes the current to flow and the device to turn on or off. When the lever is released, the contacts separate, breaking the circuit and preventing further flow of current.

Rocker switches such as the PRASA1-16L-BB000 are designed with a wide range of contact configurations to suit different applications. For example, it can be used with a normally-closed contact, which breaks the circuit when the lever is pressed, or with a normally-open contact, which completes the circuit when the lever is pressed.

Conclusion

Rocker switches are a type of electromechanical device which is used in a wide variety of applications. The PRASA1-16L-BB000 is a high-current switch with a wide range of contact configurations and a wide base. Its working principle is fairly straightforward and it can be used in a variety of applications, such as power supplies and industrial control systems.
