Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are electrical on-off switches typically used in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. They are typically found on devices such as home electronics, appliances, computers, printers, and power circuits. Rocker switches feature a contact that is actuated by rocking the switch back and forth. Rocker switches may feature a single or multiple contacts and are available in both momentary and maintained contact configurations.

RA901-RB-B-F-N Application Field and Working Principle

The RA901-RB-B-F-N is a rocker switch manufactured by APEM Components, Inc. This rocker switch was specifically designed for use in consumer and industrial applications. The switch features a distinctive round shape that allows for easy operation and visibility. It is a surface mount device with a voltage rating of 250 VAC and a current rating of 15A. The switch also has a built-in illuminated LED that can be used for indication or operational control.

The RA901-RB-B-F-N operates using a latching mechanism. The actuator, or “rocker”, moves back and forth between “On” and “Off” positions. When the switch is moved to the “On” position, the contacts connect and the switch remains in that position until the actuator is moved back to the “Off” position. The contacts are held in place by two springs that telescope in or out of the base depending on the position of the actuator. The electric current flows through two electrical contacts, when the switch is in the “On” position, and is cut off when the switch is in the “Off” position.

The RA901-RB-B-F-N is suitable for use in a variety of applications such as automotive, industrial, and consumer products. It is universally used in light switches, electric fans, and other home appliances. It is also often used on computer equipment such as power supplies, motherboards, and graphics cards. Additionally, the RA901-RB-B-F-N is compatible with a wide range of solid-state relays, capacitors, and transistors. The switch is both UL and CSA certified and is RoHS compliant.

Conclusion

The RA901-RB-B-F-N is an ideal choice for a wide range of rocker switch applications. It features a latching mechanism and an illuminated LED that allow for easy operation, visibility, and indication. The switch is versatile and compatible with a variety of solid-state relays, capacitors, and transistors. It is also UL and CSA certified and RoHS compliant. All of these features make the RA901-RB-B-F-N an excellent choice for use in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
