WB24GD1100

Rocker switches are one of the oldest and most versatile switches available. They are available in a variety of styles that make them an ideal choice for many applications. The WB24GD1100 Specifically is a Double Pole-Double Throw (DPDT) switch. It is an economical and great general purpose switch. It has two independent circuits with 8 amp load capacity with 125/250VAC rating.

Applications

The WB24GD1100 is ideal for a variety of applications. Many industrial applications such as hoists, lifts, motors, pumps, lighting and other heavy duty equipment will benefit from its high amps load capacity and double pole capabilities. Home appliances such as washers, dryers and air conditioners can make use of the switch as well. Additionally it can be used with HVAC systems, medical equipment and vending machines.

Working Principle

The primary components that make up a WB24GD1100 are its contact and actuator. The contact is typically a silver material which provides the conducting characteristics of the switch. The actuator is the physical element that is moved by the user and creates the electrical connection. When the switch is in the "off" position, the actuator is not making contact with the silver contacts. When the actuator is pushed to the "on" position, it engages with the contact which then allows electrical current to flow through the switch.

The actuator on the WB24GD1100 is fitted with an internal spring which returns the switch to the "off" position when it is released. This is done to ensure that the switch is safe and reliable in operation. These switches also offer 3-Prong Quick Connect Terminals which allows for easier removal and installation of the wiring.

The WB24GD1100 is UL Listed and RoHS compliant. This ensures that the switch adheres to the highest industry standards and is deemed safe and reliable. The combination of two independent circuits, 8 amp loads and UL Listed approval makes the WB24GD1100 switch a perfect solution for many applications.

Conclusion

The WB24GD1100 has a wide range of applications and is an ideal switch for many industrial and home appliance needs. Its features such as double pole-double throw, 8 amp load capacity and 3 prong quick connect terminals make it both economical and reliable. The UL approval and RoHS compliance give the user additional assurance that the switch is of the highest quality.
