RA12CA1100

Rocker Switches are widely used in various electronic and mechanical systems as a low-cost, robust, simple and reliable switch that can be customized in a variety of ways. One such switch is the RA12CA1100, a durable rocker switch suitable for multiple applications.

The RA12CA1100 is a SPDT (single pole double throw) rocker switch which is available in various contact configurations to suit different applications. It is rated for up to 10A of current at 125/250V AC, and has a housing made of polycarbonate plastic that is resistant to fading, cracking or corrosion. The rocker itself is made of black overmolded polyurethane, and is marked with an on-off symbol for easy identification. The switch is designed with terminals that accept #6-32 screws and is suitable for easy soldering or crimping.

The RA12CA1100 can be used in many applications, including industrial control, home automation, audio/video and telecommunications systems, robotics and motor control. It is suitable for high vibration environments, and its pins can be soldered without the need to pre-tin them.

The working principle behind the RA12CA1100 rocker switch is simple in that once the switch is pushed, the internal contacts are changed from one state to the other. This is done by a cam that is linked to the rocker, which moves the internal contacts from one state to the other as the rocker swings. This design enables a large amount of current to be controlled by a relatively small switch.

RA12CA1100 switches are widely used for simple on-off functions in both commercial and industrial applications. They are a great option for those looking for a reliable and economical switch, and as they are easy to mount in most applications and are available at a variety of retailers, they are an excellent option for a wide range of applications where rocker switches are needed.
