An electric rocker switch is a type of electrical switch that rocks back and forth to open or close a circuit. Here are its key features:
1. Toggle Mechanism
Operates by "rocking" in one direction to turn on (make contact) and the opposite direction to turn off (break contact).
Offers tactile and audible feedback.
2. Compact Design
Slim and low-profile, making it ideal for panels, appliances, and electronics where space is limited.
3. Current and Voltage Ratings
Available in various ratings (e.g., 6A/250V AC, 10A/125V AC), suitable for different load requirements.
4. Poles and Throws
Comes in configurations like SPST (Single Pole Single Throw), SPDT, DPDT, etc., to suit different circuit needs.
5. Indicator Light (Optional)
Some rocker switches include a built-in LED or neon light to show when the switch is ON.
6. Durability
Mechanical life typically ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 cycles depending on the quality.
7. Mounting Options
Panel-mount or snap-in designs are common, making them easy to install.
8. Safety and Compliance
Often built with flame-retardant materials and meet standards like UL, CE, or RoHS.
9. Applications
Used in power strips, household appliances, automotive dashboards, marine equipment, and industrial controls.
