Rocker switches are just one type of switch which has its own associated application field and working principle. The main characteristics of rocker switches include a representation of two separate positions or directions by a sculpted rocker or paddle with two or more contacts exposed when the rocker is engaged.

Rocker switches have simple and reliable design and operation at a low cost. A rocker switch may fit the application since it is sensitive to visual appearance, only requires minimal movement to operate, and generally requires no additional components between it and the circuit.

Rocker switch applications span across many industries typically involving low ampere loads, such as appliances and electronic devices. They are commonly used for control lighting, instrumentation and control wiring, power tools, household appliances, and more.

Rocker switches reveal two different positions of the switch contacts when pressed or released. Depending on the electrical circuit configuration, the opening or closing of the contacts is used to control the state of the circuit. This can result in the energizing or de-energizing of the circuit.

The main components of a rocker switch are the rocker itself which rotates on a shaft and the switch contacts. A rocker switch also often includes an actuator with an insulator base and body. The rocker is attached to a central shaft which is connected to the contact by a spring or magnet. When the rocker is engaged, a central contact on the rocker can press against the contact to close the electrical circuit.

Rocker switches work according to the principle of a rotary tilt switch. This is a switch whose tactile response is not just on/off, but involves more than one distinct feedback point. For example, when the rocker is fully engaged and it presses against the contact, it may reach a midpoint of contact and then a further midpoint past it.

This mid-contact point could be used for different effects in the circuit. For example, a blinking or flashing LED could be caused at the midpoint of the switch. It could also be used to indicate the half speed or dim position of an electric motor.

Overall, rocker switches are a simple, reliable, low cost and attractively designed solution used to control a variety of circuits. Due to its tactile feedback and gentle actuation, the rocker switch is commonly used across many industries, ranging from home electrical wiring to large-scale standalone industrial switch applications.
