SW3831/CUL

Rocker Switches

The SW3831/CUL are a family of rocker switches that are designed to be used in a range of applications. They feature an adjustable contact resistances that mean they can be tailored to suit specific requirements. The rocker switch also features a low profile design, allowing it to fit into smaller spaces.

The SW3831/CUL has an extended range of input power, from 6-36v DC, 90-125v AC, and 200-275v AC, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The switching contact is rated for 3A/250 VAC, and is capable of providing a resistive load up to 1A. The switches also have a high rise time, meaning a faster reaction time when the switch is pressed.

The rocker switch has a wide range of applications, including medical equipment, manufacturing, industrial systems, communication systems, lighting systems, motors, and computer control systems. The switch can be used to enable and disable power, control voltage, current, or other signal levels.

Working Principle

The SW3831/CUL rocker switch works by pressing the connected rocker switch. When the rocker switch is pressed, the contact is opened, allowing current to flow across the contacts. This action causes a voltage change in the connected electrical circuit, which can then be used to control the output.

The contact resistance can be adjusted to optimize the switch for the required application. The voltage at which the contact opens can be used to control both current and signal level. This can be used to switch the output off and on, change the voltage level, or increase the signal level of an input.

The switch has a high rise time, meaning it can respond faster to input signals. This is advantageous in applications where a response time of less than a few milliseconds is needed. The switch is also rated for long-term operation, with a life expectancy of more than 500 million actions.

The SW3831/CUL is used for a wide range of applications. It is easy to install, and the adjustable contact resistances make it suitable for a variety of application needs. The switch can be used to control signals, current, or voltage, and the high rise time ensures a fast response time.
