Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are a type of switch that is used for a wide variety of applications. One such example is the RSC144C1100 switch. This switch is commonly used as a power supply switch in industrial and medical equipment, as well as in consumer electronics, automotive and home applications.

The RSC144C1100 switch is a two-position, open frame, full-travel switch that provides a reliable and quick path to switch power on and off. The switch works by providing a momentary rocker motion, which is adjustable to either the normally on or normally off position. This momentary action disconnects or connects a set of electrical contacts, allowing the power supply to be changed according to user preferences.

The switch itself is composed of a dielectric high temperature resistant polyester body, with an aluminum or steel frame that houses the electrical components and the rocker arm. Inside the frame, the electrical components consist of a stationary contactor and a spring-loaded movable contactor. When the rocker arm is moved, the movable contactor contacts the stationary contactor, which completes a power circuit and either connects or disconnects the power.

The movement of the rocker arm, meanwhile, is controlled by a pair of plastic rocker levers which are connected to the inner workings of the switch. The pair of plastic rocker levers, when pushed to one side, provide a momentary rocker movement, which disconnects the power circuit. The same action can also be used to reconnect the same circuit if necessary.

The RSC144C1100 switch is designed to be efficient and reliable. The switch is designed to have a life expectancy of more than 1 million cycles, and is tested to 209G vibration and 383G shock, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also has good electrical and environmental specifications, including a maximum current of 10A, a maximum voltage of 120VAC/DC, a dielectric withstand of 2500VAC and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.

In conclusion, the RSC144C1100 switch is a reliable and robust rocker switch that can provide a variety of applications. It has high electrical and environmental specifications and is designed for the long term.
