Rocker Switches

Rocker switches are a type of momentary switch with a rocking motion, typically found in places such as boats, cars, and light fixtures. They provide a convenient and effective means of controlling current flow, usually in low-voltage applications.

The specific type of rocker switch called a RVW46D1100 is a double-pole/double-throw switch designed for AC and DC circuits. This type of switch has a rocker paddle that is “ON” when the switch is pressed up and “OFF” when it is pressed down, and the switch is actuated when the lever is moved to either side. This type of rocker switch can be used to control a variety of electrical devices such as motors, pumps, fans, and relays.

The primary benefit of using a RVW46D1100 rocker switch is that it can handle a large amount of current and provide reliable performance. It also provides a low-profile design that is easy to install and operate. The rocker switch is also resistant to dust, moisture, and contaminants, making it a great choice for harsh environments.

In terms of its application field, the RVW46D1100 rocker switch can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, boats, and light fixtures. It can also be used in industrial and commercial applications, such as controlling machinery, pumps, blowers, and motor control circuits. Its flexible design also makes it suitable for use in applications with multiple poles, such as emergency lighting, emergency stop circuits, and air conditioning.

When it comes to its working principle, the RVW46D1100 rocker switch works by actuating two independent sets of contacts using two pressure pads. When the lever is moved in one direction, it actuates the first set of contacts and when it is moved in the other direction, it actuates the second set of contacts. This enables the user to control current flow through the circuit with a single switch.

The RVW46D1100 rocker switch is a versatile and cost-effective switch that is idea for low voltage applications. It is structurally stable, dust-proof, and operates with relative ease. It is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, such as automotive, marine, industrial, and commercial.
